Jermell Charlo: record, next fight and profile →
Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez will defend his undisputed super middleweight world titles in a showdown against hard-hitting undisputed junior middleweight world champion Jermell Charlo, which headlines a Showtime PPV (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) Saturday, September 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
It was always a goal of Jermell Charlo to not only face Canelo Alvarez but to also beat him. But, with Alvarez moving up as high as 175 pounds while Charlo remained at 154, those dreams appeared to be just that, a dream. And a far-fetched one at that.
Jermell Charlo is already talking about a big game against his upcoming counterpart Canelo Alvarez. Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs) and Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) are set to clash on Sept. 30 in Las Vegas on Showtime pay-per-view in a yet-to-be-named venue.
Terence Crawford has a realistic expectation of what his body will allow him to do. The three-division titlist from Omaha, Nebraska, is coming off a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr. last Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to become the undisputed welterweight champion.
Newly anointed welterweight kingpin Terence Crawford isn’t exactly enamored by the risk-reward ratio that Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis currently presents.
It’s been well over a month since it was revealed that Jermell Charlo, not his twin brother Jermall, would take on Canelo Alvarez. Having spent the entirety of his career at 154 pounds, it seemed like a far-fetched idea to have the junior middleweight champion make the move two full-weight classes north. Nevertheless, Jermell is officially packing on the pounds, fattening his bank account, and chasing greatness.
The ‘Undisputed versus Undisputed’ billing still applies to the forthcoming Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez-Jermell Charlo showdown. However, that status will instantly change once the bell sounds for their super middleweight championship.
Jermell Charlo loves the idea of doing something that nobody else has been able to achieve. The rare occurrence of a matchup between two undisputed champions will see Charlo move up two divisions to challenge super middleweight king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. He is a sizeable underdog ahead of their September 30 clash in Las Vegas, but likes his chances to once again etch his name in the record books.
Undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo will be moving up two weight classes to challenge super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 30 on Showtime pay-per-view.
Canelo Alvarez took the boxing world by storm on June 30 when he announced his upcoming fight against Jermell Charlo on social media. Many suggested that the announcement featured a gross error because, for an extended period of time, all signs pointed to Alvarez fighting Jermell’s twin brother and WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo.
