Jermell Charlo is all set to enter the ring against legendary Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on the 30th of September. The undisputed junior middleweight champion is moving up to fight his opponent in the 168-weight division. The matchup comes as a shocker to the boxing world as it expected Canelo to initially clash against the bigger Charlo brother, Jermall. However, he excused himself from the fight, citing personal reasons.

The fight will be held inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’ll be a historic undisputed vs. undisputed boxing title fight, with Jermell’s gold and Canelo’s titles on the line. As we pan our excitement out for this fight, we have some updates on Jermell’s future plans.

Jermell Charlo is ready for a fight with Terence Crawford

As Terence Crawford rose to be the ultimate victor in the welterweight division against Errol Spence Jr., he called out Charlo for a fight in the super welterweight division. The sound of this bout has fans on the edge of their seats for one of the most lethal clashes in boxing history. And Jermell has also promised his fans the same.

Taking to his Instagram, Charlo made the bold announcement of returning back at 154 to give Terence the fight he asked for. He said, “Bout To Shock The World (168). Then I’m Coming Back To Hold My Throne Down at (154). IM THE KING. NOTHING Will Stop Me. Mega Fight’s Here On Out. After My Boy Rematch We Can Give The People What They Want And Make The @tbudcrawford Happen!!”

An unfaced ‘Bud’ Crawford gave a short comment in response: “Good Luck in yo fight, I wish you the best.”

Charlo believes he has the advantage against Canelo

It won’t be an easy matchup for ‘Iron Man’ Charlo. When the first bell rings on the 30th of September, he will be stripped of at least one title that he has attained. 

Earlier, the fighter spoke vividly about the advantages this matchup offers to his career. The first benefit in his favor is apparently the speed he has in comparison to Canelo. Further, he also believes that he is a bigger puncher than his opponent. He said, “I believe I got the speed. I got the power. I know one thing about it is Canelo, he is strong. I feel like I’m probably a bigger puncher than Canelo. That’s going to be the surprise.”

He further said, “I’m not just a little 154-pounder when I walk around. And I don’t have to struggle to make 168. So I’m going to have a great time. Training camp has been good. I’ve already been training for months.”
