Jermell Charlo: record, next fight and profile →
Derrick James Interview - Video By Ryan Burton - Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas - In a high stakes battle between undefeated lightweight contenders, Frank Martin (17-0, 12 KOs) fought his way to a dominant twelve round unanimous decision over Michel Rivera (24-1, 14 KOs).
Although they compete in two separate weight classes, that hasn't stopped both Jermell Charlo and Terence Crawford from fulminating in the public eye. Crawford, 35, has essentially placed a target on the back of the current undisputed titlist at 154 pounds and believes that at some point, the two will eventually square off in the center of the ring. While Charlo welcomes Crawford's challenge, the truculent star has noticed a pattern of sorts.
Jermell Charlo has been boxing’s first fully unified 154-pound champion for seven months. His most recent bout, a 10th-round knockout of previously unbeaten Brian Castano on May 14, was one of the most fan-friendly fights of 2022. The Houston native also has avenged the lone loss on his record, a close decision defeat to Tony Harrison, by knocking out Harrison in the 11th round of their rematch.
