Jermall Charlo won’t let Koen Mazoudier make his name against him

Jermall Charlo will make his first appearance in a year when he faces Koen Mazoudier in Australia next month.

The two-division former champion boxes as part of a PBC contingent headed Down Under, that includes Errol Spence and Stephen Fulton.
Houston's Charlo, 34-0 (23 KOs), has not boxed since his May victory over Thomas LaManna 

“It feels great to be back in the ring and to take my talents Down Under to Australia,” said Charlo. “Koen Mazoudier is going to be looking to make a name off me, but he underestimates how hungry I am. These guys ain’t seen nothing like this. It’s the USA vs. Australia and Jermall Charlo is coming to take over. Lock in with me on July 25 and watch me put on a show.”

Charlo has boxed four times in six years and is scheduled to fight Mazoudier over 10 rounds at Sydney's Afterpay Arena.

Mazoudier is 15-4-1 (6 KOs) and comes from Blackburn in New South Wales. He turned pro in 2018 and he’s won his last three after a ninth-round stoppage loss to Nikita Tszyu.

“I know I'm the underdog,” said Mazoudier. “Everyone knows I’m the underdog. I don’t care. I’m coming to spoil the party and dethrone a legend. I’ve never taken a backward step in my life, and I’m sure as hell not starting on 26 July. I’m going to bring everything I’ve got to get the result. I’m the real life Rocky.”
