Stephen Espinoza of Showtime Sports says he’s finalizing a fight for WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo to return to the ring after a two-year layoff in June or July against a “credible” opponent to get him prepared for a more significant match for later this year against someone like Carlos Adames.
Regis Prograis says Jermall Charlo is going through some “personal stuff” right now that he’s still working through in his life.
Demetrius Andrade was in full campaign mode on Wednesday, talking nonstop about him wanting to face Jermall Charlo in 2023 after his bout against Demond Nicholson (26-4-1, 22 KOs) on January 7th on Showtime PPV at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Jermall Charlo, badly slurring, told the media on Saturday night that he’s “bigger” than light heavyweight Dmitry Bivol after meeting him in person during Regis Prograis vs.
Jermall Charlo confronted WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol last Saturday night, asking him if he wants to face him next at 168.
Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) revealed on Friday that he’ll be coming off a 20-month layoff to make a defense of his WBC middleweight title in February.
Jermell Charlo says his twin brother Jermall Charlo will eventually be facing David Benavidez at 168.
Jermell points out that Jermall (32-0, 22 KOs) and Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) are with the same promoters and the same management company.
Trainer Abel Sanchez says Gennadiy Golovkin has nothing to gain by fighting Jermall Charlo or Demetrius Andrade. He feels that those fighters haven’t done enough to warrant a fight against the 40-year-old Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs).
Jermall Charlo says Gennadiy ‘GGG’ Golovkin shouldn’t be getting a third shot against Canelo Alvarez on September 17th because he was beaten by the Mexican superstar four years ago in 2018.
Terence Crawford may soon move up to 154 and look to beat both Charlo brothers, Jermall & Jermell, in 2023 if not sooner.
