Charlo Loses WBO Title, Tszyu Crowned Full Champ

Canelo Dominates Charlo in Unanimous Decision

In a historic move, Jermell Charlo has been officially stripped of his WBO super welterweight title after stepping into the ring with Canelo Álvarez. The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has elevated former interim champion Tim Tszyu to full champion status as a result.

The decision was made after Charlo accepted a fight with Álvarez, who holds the undisputed super middleweight titles. According to WBO rules, a champion cannot hold titles in two different weight classes simultaneously. As such, Charlo had to vacate his WBO title before facing Álvarez.

Canelo Retains Undisputed Title

In the highly anticipated bout, Canelo Álvarez proved his dominance by defeating Charlo by unanimous decision with scores of 119-108, 118-109, and 118-109. The Mexican star retained his undisputed super middleweight title and extended his professional record to 64-2-1.

Charlo put up a valiant effort, but Canelo's superior size, power, and ring generalship proved to be too much to overcome. Charlo suffered a left-hand contusion early in the fight, which hampered his ability to throw punches.

Conclusion

Jermell Charlo's decision to face Canelo Álvarez has ultimately cost him his WBO title. However, it is a testament to his ambition and willingness to challenge himself against the best in the world. Tim Tszyu now has the opportunity to solidify his status as a top contender in the super welterweight division.

Meanwhile, Canelo Álvarez remains the undisputed king of the super middleweight division. His victory over Charlo further cements his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
