With 40-year-old Golovkin dropped from the roster due to his lack of interest, it leaves Charlo undefeated (32-0, 22 KOs), who hasn’t fought in almost two years, and STILL doesn’t have an opponent to win. select.
Golovkin has yet to reveal who he will fight in 2023, if at all. Likely Golovkin to face #1 WBA Michael Zerafa (31-4, 19 KOs), a boxer just as bad as Munguia.
Zerafa, 30, will probably overtake Munguia, but he has a fan base in Australia. However, Golovkin can make a lot of money playing Zerafa in Australia, and there will be little chance of him losing unless he keeps his first gear for the first eight rounds as he did in the loss. recently against Canelo Alvarez last September.
The last time we saw Charlo, he called Bivol a month ago, wanting him down at 168 without any titles on the line. However, that fight was not going to happen, and Charlo has been silent since. Who knows when he’ll show up again?
Munguia’s chances against Bivol are slim and unlikely as he has a lot of interesting options for 2023, such as a rematch against Canelo Alvarez and possibly a fight with Joshua Buatsi in April.
