Jermall Charlo has finally lost recognition as WBC middleweight champion after being arrested on Monday in Pearland, Texas. Charlo is charged with driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of at least 0.15 and fleeing the scene of a crime after an autonobile collision involving damage to another vehicle. Charlo remains undefeated at 33-0 but his career has fallen apart and he had not defended his title since 2021, missing opportunities for a huge fight vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. TMZ.com provided additional details, which is that Charlo crashed his Lamborghini Urus and was eventually arrested after leaving the scene. TMZ also reports that police recorded signs of Charlo's intoxication. As news of the arrest spread, the WBC announced that: "The WBC Governing Board has decided to confirm Carlos Adames as the current WBC middleweight champion as he is being elevated from interim champion to WBC world champion. The WBC will work closely with the PBC to ensure the best course of action to address Jermall's needs at this time. After a thorough evaluation of the situation and understanding of the facts and timing, the WBC can classify Jermall at super middleweight. Carlos Adames has supported in an exemplary manner every action taken by the WBC in support of his colleagues throughout this time, for which we congratulate him."
