Jermell Charlo CALLS Terence Crawford
Jermell Charlo has once again called for a fight with Terence Crawford.
Charlo called out Crawford immediately after losing to Canelo Alvarez in September 2023 after moving up two weight classes.
Two years later, Crawford himself moved up two divisions, defeating Alvarez by unanimous decision in Las Vegas to become the undisputed super middleweight champion.
Charlo hasn’t fought since losing to the great Mexican, but admits he would relish the chance to challenge Crawford.
“I want to smoke with Crawford,” the 35-year-old said in a video posted on social media.
“If they made me an offer to Crawford, it would be an honor to stand in the ring with him.
“It was only because of what he did that he became undisputed.
“He finished something I didn’t finish.
“So being in the ring with Crawford would be amazing.
“I would give him the best fight of today’s era.”
Crawford is expected to continue fighting after Alvarez handed him just the third defeat of his career, behind Floyd Mayweather Jr and Dmitry Bivol.
The 38-year-old has been linked with a move up to middleweight, as well as a breathtaking clash with Jaron Ennis, who recently won the WBA interim super welterweight title by defeating him at welterweight. first round victory over Uisma Lima.
Charlo, who was previously the undisputed super welterweight champion, also challenged Ennis.
“I think Boots is a great fighter.”
“But I give him all the problems in the world.
“Style creates fights.”
According to Ennis’ promoter Eddie Hearn, the Philadelphia fighter has signed a contract to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr, who will first defend his interim WBC super welterweight title against Erickson Lubin on November 8 in Dallas.
‘Boots’ put Charlo on his list of potential opponents after destroying Lima, but Hearn admits he has doubts the Texan will agree to the fight.
“I like this fight, I just don’t believe he’ll take it,” Hearn said Professional boxing fans.
“These guys just overestimate themselves right away.”
“If you want a fight, not a payday, let’s talk.”

Eddie Hearn responds to the announcement of the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight with three words
Conah Walker returns to the ring next weekend and will face Sam Eggington.
The winner of the Walker vs. Eggington fight may have a chance to win the welterweight world title.
Since the defeat in 2024, “Wolf” has been in excellent form, boasting an impressive series of four victories in the season, the last three of which ended by knockout.
The last defeat in the career of the Wolverhampton fighter came at the hands of the current IBF world champion Lewis Crocker.
He overcame “The Croc” the distance and, in many people’s eyes, was unlucky not to receive recognition on the judges’ scorecards, which showed a unanimous victory for the Irishman.
He returned just two months after this defeat and in Birmingham he faced Lewis Ritson, whom he defeated over the distance.
Walker was the underdog against Harry Scarff in Nottingham and lost most, if not all, of the rounds until the 11th round before landing a series of punches in the penultimate round that forced the referee to stop the fight.
In his last fight, “The Wolf” was once again the clear underdog, beating Olympic silver medalist Pat McCormack in Monaco.
Walker performed well throughout the fight, but fell on two judges’ scorecards before the final round.
The Wolverhampton player took the ball out of the bag and scored a dramatic goal in the last round.
He will face Sam Eggington, a tough opponent also from the West Midlands.
Eggington’s last defeat was to former world champion Abass Baraou, who defeated him by majority vote.
Since then, he has had wins over Alan Velazquez and Lee Cutler.
“The Savage” was injured in his last fight against Cutler and the injury forced the referee to stop the fight early, so he is hopeful that the fight will not be restarted against Walker.
