Charlo (34-0, 23 KOs), 36, has fought just twice since 2021 and has repeatedly seen long layoffs interrupt his career during what should have been some of his best years. His most recent appearance came in December 2024, when he defeated Thomas LaManna by fifth round stoppage.
Mazoudier (15-4-1, 6 KOs) enters as Australia’s super welterweight champion but is largely unknown outside his home country. The 30-year-old from Sydney has won six straight fights since suffering a ninth-round stoppage loss to Nikita Tszyu in August 2024.
The bout is widely viewed as a rematch designed to position Charlo for a more meaningful fight later this year if he successfully comes through.
Also on the card is a super featherweight clash between former unified super bantamweight champion Stephen Fulton and Australia’s Liam Wilson.
Fulton (23-2, 8 KOs) will look to bounce back from a one-sided unanimous decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster on December 6th. The Philadelphia native was thoroughly outboxed over 12 rounds in his bid to capture the WBC interim lightweight title, dropping his second fight in his last four bouts.
Wilson (18-3, 10 KOs) has been rebuilding momentum since being stopped by Oscar Valdez in March 2024. The Australian contender has won five straight fights, including a fourth round knockout of Rodex Piala in January to retain his WBO International super featherweight title.
The Fulton-Wilson bout is scheduled for 12 rounds and represents an important opportunity for Wilson to score the biggest win of his career against a former world champion.
The July 26 event is one of the biggest boxing cards to be staged in Australia this year, with Tszyu seeking a career-defining win over former welterweight champion Spence in the main event.
