In a month, Jermell Charlo will face what could be the most significant match of his career. Climbing two divisions up, he has challenged Canelo Alvarez for his Super Middleweight undisputed title. So, alongside the preparations for the fight, all the media-related comings and goings are becoming commonplace. Most interviews and discussions serve the agenda, talking about his training, what he plans to do once inside the ring, and the possibilities of his win. They often help in settling past issues as well. But it greatly helps if the details stay true for that to happen. Otherwise, it may boomerang, as it did seemingly in Jermell Charlo’s case recently.
The short clip taken from the latest episode of the podcast ‘Million $ Worth of Game’ shows ‘Iron Man’ unhappy over some hearsay about him. He says, “I heard y’all was talking sh*t about me. I have to pull up over here.” Soon, the conversation picked up with Wallo267, making it clear that whatever comments they make, they ensure to stick with them unwaveringly. Gilli Da Kid said he never said anything about Jermell Charlo: “I don’t remember saying nothing about you know Jermell Charlo.” Perhaps by then, the undisputed champion realized that the truth could be far removed from reality.
