When Premier Boxing Champions kicks off its new rights deal with Fox on Dec. 22 in prime time the main event under discussion is between interim middleweight titlist Jermall Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs), 28, of Houston, and Polish contender Maciej Sulecki (26-1, 10 KOs), 29, of Poland, a source with knowledge of the plans told ESPN. In his last fight in April, Sulecki lost a competitive decision to top contender Daniel Jacobs. When contacted by ESPN on Thursday, Charlo, coming off a second-round knockout of Hugo Centeno to win the vacant interimn belt, also in April, said he was unsure of the date of his next fight and was waiting to talk to adviser Al Haymon about the specifics. Charlo also said he had never heard of Sulecki and that when his next fight was set he would announce it on social media.
