Jermall Charlo confirmed the fight against Las Vegas on May 19: the first attack in two years

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.

Jermalla’s best career wins:

– trout Austin
– Sergiy Derevyanchenko
-Julian ‘J-rock-Williams
– Juan Macias Montiel
– Bundrage Cornelius
– Brandon Adams
– Jose Benavidez Jr.

Prince Naseem Hamed predicts Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: “This is going to sound mad”

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua look set to face each other later this year in what could be one of the biggest British boxing events of all time.

Another British legend, Naseem Hamed, presented the course of the fight in a surprising way.

Fury had his ring returned within a a decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov earlier this monthshaking off ring rust at the age of 37 and allegedly preparing for a showdown with Joshua that the “Gypsy King” was set to take place this summer.

However, ‘AJ’ instead maintained that he would prefer a warm-up fight first, with the Londoner expected to return to action in July, ahead of a long-awaited meeting with his arch-rival in November.

I’m talking to talkSPORT BoxingHamed was looking forward to this match and suggested that a draw could be on the cards.

“Who do I think will win the fight between AJ and Fury? Well, that is the question and everyone wants to know.

“Years ago, Tyson had this awkward style for me where he could make AJ look stupid, that’s true. Now everything has changed. Tyson seemed to have backed off a little bit.

“But with Tyson Fury you never know, maybe one night he’ll show up and box amazingly and do what he did to Wilder. Those first few rounds [against Makhmudov]I was a little disappointed that he didn’t go from the start.

“This is going to sound crazy to you, but would it be unbelievable if I said it could be a draw?”

It is unclear whether Fury will also fight in the summer or whether he will avoid risking a lucrative romance with Joshua and wait patiently on the sidelines.

Whittaker stopped Brian Suarez in two rounds last weekend and performed brilliantly throughout, adding another early finish to the stretch that helped rebuild attention around him after his first fight with Liam Cameron ended in a draw.

Smith said the June outing would support expose Whittaker to a wider audience ahead of a bigger national night later in the year.

“He will fight at the end of June in America at the Boots Ennis gala. That’s good. Show him to a global audience. Then he will come back here in overdue summer, maybe early September and fight in Birmingham in a huge fight,” Adam Smith said in an interview with Sport Boxing.

Smith also named British opponents who could be next, naming Lyndon Arthur, Brad Rea and Craig Richards as possible options once Whittaker returns home.

Smith believes that in the long term, bigger domestic fights with Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yard should come within the next year if Whittaker continues to win.

“Buatsis and Yards need to be delivered within the next 6-12 months.”

Whittaker has had a lot of notoriety since turning pro, but the activity and matchmaking are looking more grave now. The next two fights should tell more than the first ten.

De La Hoya is a newfangled pound-for-pound legend, being one of only two six-division champions in the history of the sport – joined by Filipino fan favorite Manny Pacquiao, who has reached eighth in this ultra-elite club.

While De La Hoya has moved on to promote the sport, “Pac Man” recently returned to the pro ranks, challenging Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight world title last July in an attempt to break his own record as boxing’s oldest 147-pound ruler.

Pacquiao could only get a draw in that fight, but now he’s ready for an even bigger fight – at least financially – after signing a contract for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, who defeated him in 2015 in the “Fight of the Century.”

Time will tell whether this fight will have an impact on Mayweather’s renowned 50-0 record or not. “TBE” apparently wants to change his contract to an exhibition fight despite signing a contract for sanctioned competition.

If that fight takes place in September, Mayweather will come out on top again, De La Hoya said Fighting the noise that he would also be willing to have a rematch with Mayweather.

“I am a fighter. I will always be a fighter. If Mayweather beats Pacquiao, Floyd, you owe me a rematch! Let’s go!”
