WBO junior middleweight champion Brian Castano is ten days away from his scheduled showdown with unified WBC, WBA, and IBF champion Jermell Charlo.

The fight is a rematch of one of 2021’s most significant fights when they each seek undisputed status at 154-pounds once again on Saturday, May 14.

The will air live on Showtime (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Their initial fight took place back in July of 2021, with the contest ending in a close twelve round split draw.

“I’m very happy to be fighting in front of the Latino fans in Southern California. My message to the fans is that I’m going to leave it all in the ring. We’re going to be lifting up all four belts on fight night," Castano said.

“I do believe that I won the first fight. It might have been by a small margin, but I won it. This time, we’re going to try everything to make sure we don’t leave the fight in the hands of the judges. I was training with one hand for quite a few weeks after the arm injury. But right now I really feel better and stronger than ever. I come to do my job. He can come in yelling and screaming, but I don’t really care. I’m focused on the task and just doing what I need to.

“We had a lot to learn from the first fight with Charlo. One of the biggest things that I learned is to be more cautious at times while I’m in the ring. He’s powerful, but I’m going to bring my power too. We learned from the first fight and we’re going to correct any errors we made.

“I’m always going to fight whoever the fans want me to face. Give me the name, and I’m ready to go. I want to fight the best. Elite opponents are what motivate me. Our press conference was intense and our exchanges definitely motivated me a lot. He saw a different fight than I did, if he saw himself winning eight rounds. I don’t know what he saw, because I felt like I won by two points.”
