Jermall Charlo could end any hopes that he would ever face Canelo Alvarez after submitting a stunning claim against Mexican.
Super -average claimant, who returns this weekend against Thomas Lamanna, aimed at Canelo and others with a drug brush.
Charlo was to fight Canelo in 2023, but he had to withdraw due to mental problems. Brother Jermell came in and lost by a unanimous decision.
Since then, Charlo has kept links to fight Canelo until the Mexican star did not sign a contract with Al Haymon’s rival, Turki Alalshikh.
With every chance to fight Canelo from the menu, Charlo took the opportunity to lie down in pounds for pounds after Stablemate Jaime Munguia did not pass the drug test.
Asked by Fight Hub TV if he had the opportunity to look at the situation of Jaime Munguia, Charlo replied: “No, I heard that he was on steroids or something like that, he was crazy.
“Jaime Munguia Od’d (explains what he means later in an interview). He did something stupid and he from. That’s what I call OD’D.

“For a long time I told you all (about it). They make a medicine on the verge of lack of responsibility. This level is forbidden, that is, a forbidden substance.
“So they will make a medicine to the prohibited substance line, but it just didn’t show up, so it’s not responsible.
“They’ve been doing it *** for years, but now when they got used to it. They catch up.
“Do you all think that Canelo hasn’t accepted Clenbuterol for a long time? Do you think he has not returned to it ***? Do you think it was a mistake?
“Because I go to Mexico all the time, I’m from Houston. I am there all the time, eating a steak. I have never been popped up without such.
“It’s not only boxing. There are many athletes all over the world. They do this drug to disqualification, but they do not exceed it. So they are not caught for it.
“Many of these fighters are on all kinds of S ***” – he concluded.

Canelo will not be elated that his name was mentioned in the same breath as the failure of the drug after his six -month ban in 2018.
The 34-year-old had to delay the clash with Gennadiy Golovkin when he served. Canelo finally fought GGG a few months later to a controversial draw. However, the expansive majority of those who watched how they lost.
Despite the protests of Golovkin, Canelo agreed to the trilogy and won both other duels. The rematch was close, but the third was convincing. The name Canelo remained tidy since then until Munguia’s failure led him to featherlight.
During a recent media meeting, Canelo said that he would stand in Mungui and his trainer.
