Jermall Charlo wanted to make it clear that he’s not looking past his next opponent. However, he couldn’t suppress his desire to immediately return to the sport’s highest stage.

LaManna is a +750 underdog to prevail against Houston’s Charlo, but the New Jersey-based fighter says he is intent on beating the odds.

CARTERET, New Jersey - Ahead of the biggest fight of his life - a 10-round showdown with former world champion Jermall Charlo at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas - Thomas LaManna’s heart is back at home in New Jersey club show boxing.

Caleb Plant’s brand of psychological warfare is an established art, and on Thursday it was Thomas LaManna – who isn't even Plant's May 31 opponent – who was his canvas.

In Thursday's strange, sparky remote press conference to promote a May 31 PBC card involving Jermall Charlo versus Thomas LaManna, Charlo couldn’t decide quite how he wanted to behave.

“No, listen,” snapped Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna. “So, look. I didn’t want to interrupt you and be rude and stuff, but I’m cutting all that shit out.”

Caleb Plant will face Armando Resendiz and Jermall Charlo will meet Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna on May 31 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Filipino journeyman Jino Rodrigo scored the biggest win of his pro career on Saturday, knocking out previously unbeaten Mathew Gonzalez, while Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna won his ninth straight at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

A bout between former middleweight titleholder Jermall Charlo and Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna will no longer happen, according to an announcement posted on LaManna's Instagram account.

The “Brick City Fight Night Series” will head back to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Oct. 12 to showcase some of the best boxing talent from New Jersey, New York City and beyond.
