At the end of April, they were given 30 days to reach a deal or have a purse bid scheduled. However, a unification bout between Hurd and Charlo could trump the rematch provided Charlo comes out victorious over Trout on June 9th free of injury.

I'm a little torn here. I think Lara deserves a rematch for sure and I'd love to see it, but I really wanna see that fight between Charlo and Hurd too. Fresh blood, new champs. If the rematch happens first and Lara and Charlo both win, Charlo and Lara are two friends who've trained together. That would be interesting. If Hurd and Trout win, we've already seen Hurd stop Trout once. Charlo and Hurd are the two guys who'd make for the most interesting and exciting fight imo.
