Houston boxer Jermall Charlo hasn't made a defense of his 160-pound WBC crown in three years. Charlo was stripped of his title following a DWI arrest in Texas on Monday.
Jermall Charlo was arrested Monday evening in Texas and charged with three misdemeanors related to driving while intoxicated, fleeing the scene of an accident and eluding police, Pearland Police Department public information officer Chad Rogers told ESPN on Tuesday.
"The WBC has provided and will continue to do as much as possible to support Jermall Charlo during his difficult times with regards to mental wellness," WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said in a statement posted on social media Tuesday. "The WBC will closely work with PBC in securing the best course of action to attend to Jermall's needs at this moment," Sulaiman said in his statement Tuesday. "After a thorough evaluation of the situation and understanding of the facts and times, the WBC may rank Jermall at super middleweight."
Charlo, the sole occupant of the vehicle, drove for approximately one mile while an officer trailed him. Eventually, another officer parked in front of Charlo as he attempted to drive through a red light, forcing him to stop.
