Although Jermell Charlo currently holds three of the four major world titles at £154, the Houston-born is far from satisfied.
On May 14, Charlo will attempt to end his rivalry with fellow champion, Brian Castano. The two initially engaged in a back-and-forth war of attrition on July 17, 2021. At times, it seemed like the pressure and volume punch of the rough and rough Argentinian would make Charlo better. But, despite his efforts to pull the unified list into the deep end, Charlo has proven he can swim well.
While Charlo was more calculating in attack, he launched more eye-catching shots, causing Castano to wobble several times. As the final bell rang throughout Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, both men raised their hands in victory. Neither of them were entirely wrong in their assessment, as their match was concluded to be a decisive draw.
For now, Charlo is completely entrenched in an arduous training camp as he prepares to face Castano again on May 14. If Charlo appears victorious, he can find the next challenger who is inferior to him. a weight class. With Errol Spence Jr., his close friend and steady friend, becoming a three-belt world champion in the 147-pound weight class, he will face Terence Crawford before the year closes to become a world champion. Undisputed famous tennis player.
Although both Crawford and Spence Jr were amused by the idea of facing off against Charlo, the Houston-born was uninterested in facing his good friend. However, if a match against Crawford can be made, Charlo is poised to become a pound star.
Charlo told a group of reporters: “I have no intention of going against my acquaintance. “Crawford can get that work now. I don’t give af*ck about him. I don’t know that n*gga, n*gga don’t know me. We can make anything happen.”
A few months ago, after years of calling up Spence Jr., Crawford revealed that if he can’t secure a long-awaited showdown against the mighty men’s team, he’ll be ready to put on weight to face it. the winner in Castano vs. Charlo.
News of their intriguing potential match baffled Charlo. With Crawford winning world championships in the 135, 140, and 147-pound divisions, the Omaha, Nebraska native still can’t compete with the 154-pound mark. Until he does, Charlo believes Crawford is an unrelated subject.
“Crawford didn’t die at 154. How do you want him to fight me? I tell you I’m trying to be undisputed right now. How are we talking about someone who hasn’t even fought in the division. ”
