Tony Harrison: record, next fight and profile →
Tony ‘Super Bad’ Harrison was among the many athletes who made the charitable rounds in their respective hometowns during the Thanksgiving season, but the reigning junior middleweight titlist doesn’t need a holiday to give back to Detroit. Every day is already spent carrying out that cause.
WBC Super Welterweight Champion and Detroit-native Tony "Superbad" Harrison spent time giving back to his hometown last week, holding a grocery giveaway at his gym ahead of tomorrow's Thanksgiving holiday.
WBC super welterweight champion Tony "Superbad'' Harrison is not impressed with the trash talk coming from former world champion Jermell Charlo. Their rematch takes place on Saturday, December 21 from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. Harrison and Charlo first clashed on December 22 of last year, with Harrison winning a disputed twelve round decision to capture the WBC crown.
Even with their past history, there was something different about Jermell Charlo this time around. Tony Harrison just couldn’t quite place what it was about the junior middleweight whose title he wrested a year ago, but plans to use it to his full advantage when they meet again.
Tony Harrison knew he wouldn’t be short on motivation heading into his rematch with Jermell Charlo. Running into his old rival once again only served as a reminder of how much more than his junior middleweight title is at stake. “I just don’t like him… at all,” Harrison (28-2, 21KOs) told BoxingScene.com of the man he dethroned 52 to weeks to the date of their scheduled Dec. 21 rematch at the Toyota Arena [nee Citizens Business Bank Arena] in Ontario, California. “I know he don’t like me. My father always taught me not to feel (hatred) towards any other man… but I just don’t like anything about [Charlo]. I don’t like him as a person. I don’t like him as a boxer. There’s just nothing I like about him and it’s always going to be that way.”
