“The WBO World Championship Committee grants sanction approval of the Undisputed Jr. Middleweight Championship Contest between Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano… The fight must take place no later than Saturday, May 14, 2022.” states an official WBO ruling leaked byBoxing Scene.

Nevertheless, if the fight suffers anymishap that prevents it to happen, Castaño’s WBO title will be declared vacant.

Also, Charlo demanded Brian Castaño to prove the alleged injury he had suffered on his biceps the main reason for the fight to be postponed: “I won’t let this type of adversity slow my grind. I peep all they moves, two steps ahead. Tell Castano show those doctor reports and take them VADA (anti-doping tests) so we can move forward with knocking his ass out.”.

What is true, is that Jermell Charlo is eager to have all the Super welterweight belts as soon as possible: “One more belt to grab and I’ve completed a dream than an eight-year-old (Charlo on his own) once had. Never changed my mindset only to get stronger.”, shared the Lousiana native.

The WBO, and the other 3 boxing organizations involved in Charlo vs Castaño II (WBC, WBA, and IBF), have agreed to stop themandatory defenses of their respective titles to allow the clash to happen.
