Both boxers have etched their names in the history books as a hall of fame-worthy fighters. However, unlike his brother, Jermall Charlo, competes in a different division and is undefeated. In a recent interview, he claims that there is no animosity between them but they are not on great terms either. Their relationship took a hit after an altercation between former champion, Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo. Subsequently, the two brothers ended up in an argument which transpired between their partners.

In a post made by @IzquierdazoBox on X, it is reported, “Jermall Charlo confirms that he is not on speaking terms with his brother Jermell. There is a distance from Jermall’s fight with Caleb Plant, where the partners of the two twins ended up fighting in the place.”

That being said, it bears mention that, Charlo does not have any ill will for his brother and wishes the best of luck for his upcoming quest. However, Charlo is a heavy underdog going into the fight. But many foresee an upset, including a boxing legend.
