Jermall Charlo says that Terence Crawford makes the same mistake, his brother, Jermell Charlo, committed when he was approaching the height from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his titles in 2023.

Jermell was too leisurely after gaining weight and did not have the same speed as during the fight in the medium weight munior. The Crawford frame is smaller than Jermell’s and will be an uncomplicated victim for Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) Chips In the fight on September 13 at the Allegant stadium in Las Vegas.

Risky Crawford mass

Jermall asks what the general goal of Crawford is to move to a super medium weight in this fight. He notes that Crawford is not 168-pound and has not fought in the weight class before. He didn’t want to tune. So what is his justification?

“My brother fought with Canelo, not me. I like Crawford in this fight, and he wanted to remain substantial. But my brother told me that this is the mistake he made,” said Jermall Charlo to The mediaSpeaking of his brother, Jermell Charlo, gaining weight, rising from 154 to challenge Canelo Alvarez in 2023.

We saw how Jermell gave up attempts after he was hit with some arrows at an early stage of the fight with Canelo two years ago. His own blows did not affect the Mexican star, because his power did not move since 154. Crawford’s situation is even worse. He looked like a destitute growth from 147 to 154 in his last fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3.

Leisurely Terenca, Canelo’s victim

“He thought he was rising on the scale:” I have to become massive. I have to beat Canelo. ” It surprised him more slowly.

Jermall is right. With a weighty, which Crawford packed in the last year, will be leisurely, dull and an uncomplicated goal for the substantial shots of Canelo. When Terenka feels this power from a Mexican star, he will be on his bike, pedaling as soon as possible to survive.

Money over sense: crawford

“You want a great one to absorb Canelo’s blows. But technically this is not Crawford we will see. Crawford goes to fight Canelo at 168, when he is not 168-pound. Where is the motivation? You have to think about it – said Jermall.

It is obvious what is Crawford’s motivation to go to 168 to challenge Canelo. It’s money. He wants cash for retirement to live like a great king in Omaha, Nebraska. Bud has already shown us that with his decision not to move to 168 and moist your feet, fighting once before his fight with September 13.

It is not that Crawford did not have the opportunity to fight and tune in 168. His last fight took place on August 3 against Israil Madrimov, which meant that he had 13 months of free time to make a warfine in Super Middle Wweight with one of these pretenders:

– Christian Milli
– Edgar Berlanga
– Oslyys Iglesias
– Caleb plant

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Undefeated American light heavyweight Atif Oberlton believes there is plenty more to come after rating his last performance seven out of ten as he prepares to face knockout puncher Deon Nicholson on November 7.

Oberlton improved to 17-0 with a shutout decision over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August, but believes he has another level to reach despite winning every round.

Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News, the Philadelphia southpaw reflected on his victory over Angulo and becoming the first fighter to stop Carlos Gongora earlier this year.

“They said Carlos Gongora was going to be a very tough opponent, and he was one of my toughest challenges thus far. He’d never been stopped, and I was able to get the stoppage pretty early on because I locked in and trained the way I needed to.

“Looking back, I’d rate my performance against Angulo maybe a 7 out of 10—I could have definitely done better. But this camp is different mentally. We had a lot of factors going on last time, but I’m entirely focused now,” he told WBN.

The assessment comes as promoter Dmitriy Salita looks to establish Oberlton as America’s leading light heavyweight.

Oberlton Faces Nicholson

Nicholson enters their November 7 contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 19 knockouts from 23 victories and a reputation for dangerous punching power.

The Alabama fighter was previously linked to a showdown with former undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev, making him another significant test for Oberlton.

“Nicholson is a good opponent—a good dance partner. We’re getting closer to the level of opponents that allow for a standout performance because the challenge keeps stepping up. I definitely don’t take him lightly. I respect everyone who gets in the ring and stands in front of me, but I’m going to go out there and do what I trained to do.”

The ten-round bout at Kiva Auditorium will be Oberlton’s fourth appearance of 2026, with Salita Promotions delivering on its promise to keep the unbeaten contender active.

Salita Promotions Keeps Promise

Oberlton says his relationship with Salita has allowed him to build momentum while continuing to work toward a world title opportunity.

“Salita Promotions told me they were going to keep me busy when I signed, and they’ve kept their end of the bargain. I’m keeping mine by going out there, performing, and winning—whether by early stoppage or decision.

“As long as they keep putting people in front of me, I’m going to keep fighting. Every time I step in the ring, I want to perform better than the last time, climb the ladder, and take some hardware home. I’m ready to take some candy.”

Oberlton has already stopped Joseph George and Gongora in 2026 before proving he could dominate over ten rounds against Angulo.

With 14 knockouts in 17 victories, Oberlton has shown he can finish opponents early and control fights over the distance.

Now, with another training camp behind him and a fourth fight of the year approaching, Oberlton believes his best performances are still ahead of him.

Tony Bellews Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: Yep, I Said It

Tony Bellew's Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: "Yep, I Said It"

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.

The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.

After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.

Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.

It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.

Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.

“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”

Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.

Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.

Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.
