Jermell Charlo says he’s not interested in moving up to 160 to start campaigning at middleweight. WBC junior middleweight champion Charlo (30-0, 15 KOs) says he’s quite happy fighting at 154, and he’s not going to be moving up to 160 and have to deal with being compared to his bigger, stronger brother Jermall Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs), who is currently the interim WBC middleweight champion.
Former 154-pound champion Jermall Charlo sent a statement to the middleweight division in the co-main event, knocking out previously once-beaten contender Hugo Centeno Jr.
