By Dan Ambrose: Champions like Jermall Charlo, Errol Spence Jr, and Gennadiy Golovkin have been sitting on their titles without defending them for ages.

“So he’s tried to fight some guys, but if he’s not going to fight opponents that people are interested in, why does it really matter if he’s the WBC champion? People go through tough situations in their lives, and he was just not in the right frame of mind in his life to fight.” “I’m just saying if there’s someone in Buenos Aires willing to pay for it, would either of us be surprised if that wound up? Crawford still ongoing, Thurman more likely for Errol](https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/02/spence-vs-crawford-still-ongoing-thurman-more-likely-for-errol/) [Jermall Charlo to defend WBC belt in June](https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/02/jermall-charlo-to-defend-wbc-belt-in-june/) “Why give the WBC three percent of a seven-figure purse just because,” said Idec. “The WBC said they were going to investigate what’s going on with [Jermall] Charlo back in November. Charlo said he was going to come back,” said Mannix. “He kind of eluded to it in an Instagram post a few weeks ago. The IBF ordered a mandatory fight, and Golovkin elected not to go through with it, and that belt is gone. He shouldn’t be allowed to hold the IBF, WBA & WBC titles and fight Keith Thurman in a 154-lb fight. When he does fight in June, it’s going to be exactly two years since the previous time that he fought. Give Carlos Adames his opportunity to be the full champion because it’s similar to what’s going on with Errol Spence.
