Jermell Charlo has vacated his IBF super-welterweight world title, leaving Bakhram Murtazaliev and Jack Culcay likely to fight for the vacant belt. Charlo, who remains WBA and WBC world champion, canceled the scheduled purse bid for the fight. In another development, Opetaia-Briedis II's IBF purse bid has been canceled, and a mandatory title fight is set to be revisited after Opetaia-Zorro. Charlo's decision has prompted the IBF to notify Murtazaliev and Culcay to meet for the vacant belt, with a deadline of December 29 to make a deal or a purse bid will be scheduled. Additionally, @FutureOfBoxing is set to return to the ring after 29 months for a fight against @josebenavidezjr on the #BenavidezAndrade @ShowtimeBoxing PPV.
