Jermell Charlo will resume his career late this summer. Former undisputed junior middleweight champion Charlo (35-2-1, 19 COs) has taken a two-year holiday since he got a big payday in a fight against Canelo Alvarez on September 30, 2023.
Title shot?
It is believed that Jermell will target one of the champions at 154, with WBC and WBO Champ Sebastian fundora To be the probable champion, he is fighting.
Lance Pugmire reports The promoter Tom Brown says Charlo, 34, will return ‘late summer’.
Of course, it will look bad if Charlo gets a straight title shot that comes from a two-year discharge and a one-sided 12-round unanimous decision loss to Canelo. He must at least fight against the top contender in the rankings, such as Serhii Bohachuk or Xander Zayas.
IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev will not be the choice, because Charlo never showed interest in fighting him when he was mandatory. He will certainly not want to fight after a two-year dismissal and must handle the IBF’s 10-pound rehydration rule.
It is doubtful whether Jermell can do it through the training camp without getting some kind of injury. We all remember how Tim Tszyu had trouble trying to get a title against Charlo when he held the WBO title and sustained a hand injury. Jermell then moved up to 154 to challenge Canelo for his belts and leave Tszyu with the time he wasted to get a fight against him.
Riyadh dreams?
It will be interesting to know why Jermell Charlo decided to resume his career suddenly. Does he hope there will be interest in him for the Riyadh season cards?
If one hears that Ryan Garcia earns $ 20 million to be against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero in a setup on the 2nd map of May 2, it could have planted some ideas in Jermell’s head.
Ryan is young, popular with a massive follow -up on social media, easy to understand and reliable. Charlo’s last performance was terrible against Canelo, and he didn’t look good in his fighting against Brian Castano and Tony Harrison.
Fans who were not there, when Jermell fought, the guys wouldn’t care that he was coming back. But if you have followed his career from the beginning, you will know that he is too much and will not beat one of the top fighters at 154.
