A few weeks back Teofimo was taking photos with Canelo with all of his belts - including 2 WBC belts. I saw the same 2 belts again while watching the "In Camp with Teofimo" video on Matchrooms YouTube.
One is the "franchise" belt and the other is the "world title" belt.
I thought I was understanding all of this nonsense with the belts - but why does Teo have 2 WBC belts?
A couple thoughts / questions;
-----------------------------------
1) Interesting update on:
Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez will meet for the third time in early 2022 for the “franchise” title - is this the first time that a "franchise" belt has been fought for rather than "upgraded" out of the ring?
(Although I heard Teofimo Lopez Sr. mention at the media workouts that the "franchise" belt is up for grabs if Kambosos wins.)
2) Jermall Charlo is due for a voluntary?! What the hell was the Montiel fight then? Was Montiel a "mandatory"? I suppose another low risk-medium reward for Charlo again. (Yes - I am not a Jermall fanboy)
Thanks for the update Dan - very nice recap.
One question for Dan or anyone reading this...

Earlier in Teofimo's career he won the WBC's regional Council Continental Americas belt. That could be it.
Oh okay. Thanks Dan 👍
