Jermell Charlo, the WBA super-welterweight 'champion in recess' and former WBA 154 champion, has officially invoked his right to challenge the current champion, Israil Madrimov. This development, confirmed through a letter sent this week, complicates ongoing discussions for a potential bout between Madrimov and Terence Crawford, which were being facilitated by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh. According to WBA rules, Charlo's move introduces legal hurdles that could affect Crawford's opportunity, potentially paving the way for Vergil Ortiz to become involved in the title picture.
