The WBC will allow Jermell Charlo to make another voluntary defense of its 154-pound title in his next fight.
At its annual convention in Kiev, Ukraine, the WBC voted Wednesday to afford Charlo the chance to make a second straight optional defense against an opponent to be determined. If Houston’s Charlo wins his next fight, he will be obligated to make a mandatory defense in his following fight against the winner of an elimination match between Erislandy Lara and Julian Williams.
The WBC also ordered the Lara-Williams bout at its convention Wednesday.
