Ahead of Canelo Alvarez’s First Fight on $100,000,000 PBC Deal, Caleb Plant Slap Fiasco Opens a Rift Between Jermall and Jermell Charlo Twins

The Charlo twins are on top of their respective divisions but there is tension between them. This revelation comes just weeks before Jermell Charlo‘s anticipated clash against Canelo Alvarez. The undisputed junior middle-weight champion will challenge, ‘Saul,’ for the undisputed super-middleweight crown. Intriguingly, this will be the first time Alvarez will compete under the ‘PBC,’ banner. The Mexican fighter has signed a new three-fight deal with the promotion and is reported to earn a guaranteed $100 million.

Moreover, ahead of the bout, the brother of the challenger opens up about his relationship with his brother. He dives in great detail to explain the rift between them. So without further ado, let’s take a look at what he had to say about the same.

The relationship between the Charlo twins

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.

In an interview, he stated, “I give Charlo a big chance because Canelo hasn’t looked that good in his [recent] fights. I know he said, you know, there were a few injuries, a few personal problems during camp.”
