Jermall Charlo Will They emerge from hibernation mode Once again, fight at the Super Middle Wweight on May 31 at the PBC event in Las Vegas. He will fight on the basis of the former IBF champion 168-lb Caleba Plant.
Charlo (33-0, 22 KO) turns 35 May 19 and did not fight within two years of defeating the former pretender to the welterweight Jose Benavidez Jr. in 2023. Jermall looked quite bad, and then he laid a two -year release, and now he does it again.
Before Jermall stopped fighting, he never beat any most contemporary fighters during his career at the age of 154 and 160. He was known mainly for his victories over former opponents of GGG Sergiy Derevyanchenko, Julian Williams, Austin Trout and Cornelius Bundrage.
What is the goal?
Charlo was a good warrior, but in some of his fights he took many penalties, showing that he was not at the level of the aging Gennadiy Golovkin or Canelo Alvarez. These are two fighters he pressed in his youth when he was still vigorous and motivated.
Now, at the age of 35 and basically four years of idleness, you can’t expect much from Jermalla Charlo. He returns, but the only thing he can count on Canelo throws him a bone or Riyada season, offering him mega-million as an opponent of someone like Teupers Crawford. We hope not Canelo, because nobody wants to see this kind of careful.
Lance Pugmire reports that Jermall will fight on the basis of the plant. There is no word about who Charlo will be, but of course it will be a low -level opponent for tuning purposes. We hope that this is someone from the 168-Funt division, not a guy two weight classes below, as in the last fight of Jermalla in 2023.
This latest return does not look promising for Charlo, but if he hopes that he will offer a package of money to fight in one of the seasonal events in Riyadh, I think it’s worth it. Apparently he does not win the title of world champion in the last age of his career. Again, this is probably not his goal in this return.
Any hopes of the title?
Considering the diagnosis of Jermalla among older fans who remember him in the best years of his career in 2016-2021, he could get the title of World Champion in 168, if he looks half the decent May 19. The united master of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez, has recently focused on an uncomplicated opposition, and the fight with Jermall would be on his alley if he looked like a beating in his return.
Former world champion with two divisions, Jermall Charlo, was an excellent warrior and one of the biggest names in sport. However, after the exhausting fight with Juan Macias Montiel on June 19, 2021, Charlo stopped fighting for two years and was not motivated to return to the ring. He had the opportunity to win a huge challenge for Canelo Alvarez for his unified titles super medium weight on September 30, 2023.
Jermall decided not to fight because of personal problems. Instead, his twin brother, Jermell Charlo, took up the fight for a gigantic payment day. Interestingly, Jermell also stopped fighting and has not been seen in the ring since then.
