Jermell Charlo, the first four-belt undisputed junior middleweight champion, has been stripped of his WBA title and reclassified as 'champion in recess.' This development follows a decision by the WBA amidst a situation involving the vacant WBA 154 title. The title was set to be contested between Israil Madrimov and Magomed Kurbanov during the JoshuaNgannou PPV event in Riyadh. However, the bout has been canceled due to an issue with Madrimov's pre-fight medical scan, as conducted by the BBBofC, the regulator of the event, leading to Madrimov being ruled out. Despite this, there's a possibility the fight could proceed if further evaluations of Madrimov's medical condition are favorable, marking a fluid situation. The WBA has mandated that the winner of the now-vacant title must face Charlo upon his return if they wish to fight him.

Per involved source: Madrimov has been been given another scan and the initial scan is being looked for a second opinion. So depending on all that works out it’s possible the fight will move ahead. A fluid situation. #boxing #JoshuaNgannou https://t.co/xGtYoyVCI1
