Close to eleven fights are expected to take place at Michelob ULTRA Arena, excluding the David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade main card. One of the fights, a ten-round, non-title middleweight bout, is between Jose Benavidez Jr. and Jermall Charlo. The twin brother of former undisputed light middleweight champion Jermell Charlo, ‘Hitman’, has largely been out of boxing for over two years.
Despite the mixed results, Jose Benavidez Jr., on the other hand, has been reasonably busy during the last two years. While most of the eyes would be on the David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade bout, many consider Charlo-Benavidez Jr. equally significant, if not more. The outcome of the fight might have an impact on other big fights. More so, it could come in aid of at least one of the belligerents by setting his career on track.

The ‘Hitman’ stands 6 feet, 2 inches, or 185 centimeters tall. He has a hand reach of 72 1/2 inches or 187 centimeters. The precise weight details of 33-year-old Charlo remain unavailable as of now. However, the bout is reportedly taking place at a 160-pound catch weight. Hence, it should be fair to assume that he will make it through the final weigh-in. Jose Benavidez Jr., on the other hand, boasts a height of 5 feet and 10 1/2 inches, or 179 centimeters. His reach extends up to 71 inches or 180 centimeters. Just like his opponent, details related to the 31-year-old’s weight remain vague.
As far as their records are concerned, with his participation in nearly 32 bouts, Jermall Charlo enjoys a slight edge over Benavidez Jr. in terms of experience. Otherwise, he has yet to lose a bout in his career. With 22 out of his 32 wins coming by way of knockouts, Charlo’s knockout-to-win rate remains at roughly 69%. With 31 fights in his kitty, David Benavidez’s brother has suffered two losses and a single draw in his professional career. In October 2018, Terence Crawford defeated Benavidez Jr. Then last year, Danny Garcia scored a majority decision win over the Panorama City-born boxer. Out of the 28, 19 were knockout victories. Hence, at 68%, his knockout-to-win rate stands close to Charlo’s.
Jose Benavidez Jr. vs. Jermall Charlo: Net Worth and Other Facts
According to the celebrity net worth, in 2023, Jermall Charlo’s net worth stood around $3 million. It is likely that most of his earnings came solely from boxing purses. Unfortunately, details regarding Jose Benavidez Jr.’s net worth are not readily available. However, the significant variance in the figures presented by different portals makes it purely speculative to reach any conclusion about Jose Benavidez Jr.’s net worth.
It could be said that, in comparison to theirs, the careers of their brothers have grabbed more attention.’ Hitman’s brother, Jermell Charlo, made headlines by climbing two divisions to challenge the undisputed super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez. David Benavidez has been making overtures to secure a fight with Alvarez for a long time. He is already a mandatory challenger to the Mexican icon. Therefore, defeating Andrade will bring him significantly closer to his goal.

It has also been speculated that Canelo Alvarez might take on Jermall Charlo for the next fight. Hence, Jose Benavidez Jr. could play spoilsport if he defeats the latter. It will ruin Jermall Charlo’s desire to avenge his brother’s loss. Thus, overall, an exciting array of cards lies ahead for fans and followers.
