Negotiations continue on signing a contract for a duel between the WBC world middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) and Jaime Munguia (39-0, 31 KOs). According to American journalist Keith Ideck, the agreement on this issue is getting closer to its logical conclusion.
For Charlo, who was recently scheduled to fight Saul Alvarez, this will be a return to the ring after a year-long hiatus. So far, the American is also refraining from the idea of moving to super middleweight.
At the same time, Mungiya will definitely not fight for the WBO temporary belt of 72.5 kg with Zhanibek Alimkhanuly. The World Boxing Organization has already nominated Danny Dignum as a contender for an interim title fight with a boxer from Kazakhstan.
