Jermall Charlo says he wants to fight against Canelo Alvarez next year if everything goes smoothly with his fights that Thomas Lamanna and Caleb have planted. The former World Champion of two divisions Charlo (33-0, 22 COs) returned on Saturday, May 31, from a two-year discharge, against Lamanna (39-5-1, 18 COs) in the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
If all goes well for Charlo, 35, he will fight in the summer if he wins against the middleweight Armando Resendiz on Saturday. Jermall says he wants “Make tons of money and tons of wealth ”in this latest return.
Charlo’s Lamanna, Plant Road
“I’m glad to put my unbeaten record at stake and show the world why I’m one of the big ones,” Jermall Charlo said Fight Hub TV About his return this Saturday against Thomas Lamanna. “I just want to get the Caleb plant fight out of the way. I don’t want to take too long with the Canelo battle. He earned so much money. ‘
Canelo can retire if Terence Crawford beats him on September 13 or after a second fight. He will not stay to record consecutive defeats, which can happen against Terence. Charlo is unlikely to be so far away because he will have to defeat Caleb that he should be considered an opponent for the Mexican star.
“He still has Terence Crawford to worry about. It could be at some point next year,” Jermall said when asked about his hit list. After that, I really don’t know. I’ll fight one of the guys. The Munguia -man who fought Canelo. I really don’t know the guys. I don’t know what’s next. “
The fighting that will be available to Charlo will depend on the outcome of his Comeback collision against Lamann on Saturday and whether he wins his fight against Caleb Plant. If Jermall overcome in the two competitions, he has a good chance of fighting against Canelo.
Jermall’s perspective and goals
“The people with whom we can earn a lot of money and a lot of wealth. Just go back into the ring and show that I’m the best in the world,” Charlo said. “I’m bigger now. I don’t think my body at this age is ready to fight and break myself down and pick myself up to 154 and 160. My new competitive weight is 168. I just fell into their weight class. Now I’m part of their weight class. ‘
Jermall could have made a lot of money in 2023 when Canelo offered him a fight. Instead, he bent out and took his brother, Jermell, and he has not been seen since. Charlo must use the situation with this latest return and take the biggest battles he can if they are offered. He is supposed to fight Caleb plant next if they both win on Saturday.
“I want to be much more active,” Jermall said when asked what he wanted to achieve this year. “I’m like a veterinarian now. This victory is like a birthday to me. ‘
This is easier said than for Charlo to stay active, as he has been redundancing twice for the past four years. It is quite clear that he is not really motivated enough to stay active and will probably continue to take extensive breaks after each fight. It’s a shame, because he’ll be 37 if he takes another two -year break after Saturday’s fight. By then, it will probably be too late to get a fight against Alvarez.
