Ronnie Shields has confirmed that he is working again with Jermall Charlo.
Shields recently cornered the lightweight contender Justin Pauldo to victory over Nike Theran on Saturday’s ProBox TV card at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.
“I just started working back with Jermall Charlo,” Shields told BoxingScene. “We haven’t started working together yet, but he called me, and he wants to come back. We are going to start working in the next couple of weeks.”
Shields is no stranger to either of the Charlo brothers, because he trained Jermall and his brother Jermell during their professional careers. Jermall had worked with Shields up until his past fight, when he fought Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna. Charlo won via a six-round technical knockout.
“We started from the very beginning and won championships together,” Shields said. “We are trying to revisit that.”
Charlo, a former two-division belt holder who captured titles at junior middleweight and middleweight, is next looking to campaign at super middleweight. No date or opponent has been set for his return. Shields, regardless, has an expectation for what is next for Charlo.
“You never lose what you had,” Shields said. “You just got to get it back. The thing about boxing is the training is the most important thing. Once you get back in that groove, nothing should change.”
