Hmm, it's getting weird though, but there are reports that it will not be Jermall Charlo the 160 lbs champion and who is inactive, but his twin brother, Jermell Charlo, the reigning undisputed 154 lbs who is supposed to fight Tim Tszyu who is now going to face Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs Sept 30th.
This is now a very interesting plot and for sure there will be haters and gonna say that Jermell duck Tim, hehehe.
I also saw a post of an undisputed vs undisputed from PBC itself so this is true. 2 years inactive Jermall Charlo will be substituted by his twin brother, the undisputed 154 champion Jermell Charlo.
I don't think the odds will change with the shift of opponents. Jermell is also inactive although a year only but he needs to climb 2 divisions to fight Canelo. Canelo will be very aggressive in this fight being confident that Mell cannot hurt him.
Partly ducking in the part of Jermell but honestly, the champion took a more difficult mission and of course, he will also earn the biggest money of his pro career.
Tim as the interim WBO will be elevated as its new champion. Jermell vacating the belts also denies Crawford's huge ambition of becoming the first-ever 3-division undisputed champion in this 4-belt era. I don't think Bud has time on his side unless he continues to fight in his late 30s which will be very difficult.
