That is the last of Charlo’s belts to find a new champion. He made it there and got his money against Canelo but that guy locked down 154 to do absolutely nothing for entirely too long.
It appears to be common practice. I still don’t understand the logic when you don’t make money babysitting titles. As long as someone other than a PBC fighter gets the belt, we should see some steady defenses.
