Tonight: Jermall Charlo, The Apex Predator, ready to hunt for a 168-pound division

Sergio Mora rejects the idea that Jermall Charlo will be able to restore her career on the right track with Thomas Lamanna in Las Vegas. Mora states that the former world champion in two Charlo divisions (33-0, 22 KO) has been inactive for too many years and is antique at the age of 35.
Sergio says that Jermall will not be able to regain the form of the championship from 2021 and earlier. He states that one of the newborn “hungry” fighters defeats him. Mora does not say who this warrior would be, who would defeat Charlo at the age of 168, but thinks someone will do it.
Charlo: Apex Predator is back
I don’t agree. Jermall has a talent to overcome all fighters in Super Middle Libra, including The Top Guy, Canelo Alvarez. If in some way Teunego Crawford can get these four lanes, Jermall will be like a shark on it. This is if Crawford does not ponderous down.
“Charlo is 35 years antique. Can she restore her career on the right track?” said commentator Chris Mannix to Dazn BoxinG, talking about Jermall Charlo.
“Is he? Yes. Yes. He did not,” said Sergio Mora of Charlo, who did not return to the form of the championship during his best years, holding world titles aged 154 and 160. “I hate to say it because he is already at the age of 30. He is 35 years antique. Infactivity will rob the size of a career. We saw it with the fact that we saw it with the fact that we saw it. [former undisputed light welterweight champion] Josh Taylor recently. “
Mora’s disturbing approach to Jermalla is disturbing. He fell into him from previous fighters, who for years sat outside the ring and tried to return, but does not recognize that he is different. “Massive” Charlo has always been brutal, stronger and tough Charlo brothers.
Elite power
Jermall was known for his power instinct and killer. It will still be there, regardless of its four years of inactivity. Muscle memory is there. So Jermall will be just as powerful as when he was busy. Speed has never been what made him great. It was his power and ruthlessness.
“So it doesn’t matter if he is invincible, the world champion in two rebounds. All the awards you mentioned. In idleness takes confidence. I don’t think he returned to the level of championships,” said Mora of Jermall. “He was rejected by one of those who encircle hungry.
Jermall will not be knocked out by any of the “growing hungry” fighters, because there are only a few with talent that pose a threat. The Caleb plant will not be a problem if Charlo is 90% of what was in 2021 and earlier. This fight will show how great Jermall is, and he will be wanted after this victory.
168-Funt division wide open
If Charlo destroys the plant “Honey” in five rounds, as he did against Julian “J-rock” Williams, you can expect that Turks Alalshikh will add him to the miniature list of fighters, wants the winner of Canelo Alvarez versus Crawford to fight.
“I mean that he is an undefeated, hungry master who could be sold,” Mora on Jermall continued. “He and his brother [former undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo] He had this agent, this “only lion” that barks to the ring. They were terrifying. Life, not boxing, Jermall Charlo has life. “
The 168 pounds division is widely open to a warrior like Jermall to capture one or all world titles and prevail for a while. His main competition would be David Benavidez and David Morrell, but they both moved to 168. After their departure, all that remained from this idle, dead division:
Jermall Charlo: Unquestioned diamond
- Canelo Alvarez: With a sedate decline and avoiding killers and has been evading for years.
- Diego Pasteco: A high, similar to bird warrior, but simple to hit, and looked on average compared to the lower level opposition.
- Christian Milli: A perfect combined blow with power, but leaky defense. Would give faded 35-year-old huge problems of Canelo; Therefore, he is one of the avid.
- Edgar Berlanga: Hybrid lightweight heavyweight warrior/cruiser’s weight, who can somehow drain to 168. Only about the size of Berlang, is a threat to everyone in the super medium weight ward. However, he does not always fight with confidence. He should have defeated Canelo if he pressed him like in the 12th round of their fight in September last year.
- Caleb Plant: A aging boxer without won in relation to the high -level opposition. His smoke and mirrors with a plant. It is a classic definition of a warrior produced. There is nothing real about it. As American writer Gertrude Stein once said, “a sentence describing the Caleba plant.
- Jermall Charlo: It is a diamond talent in the 168 pounds league. However, he will not be able to realize his potential, unless he stays busy, fighting three times a year. After blurring, the jermall plants will also be on the avid Canelo list.
- Oslyys Iglesias: The largest puncher at the age of 168, but is imperceptible because of his career, which is already beginning. This talented Southpaw, Cuban Iglesias, will be avoided like a scourge of the best fighters.
- Jaime Mungia: Another of the artificial fighters produced. He and the plant are very similar.

Shakur Stevenson: “I feel like I’m the best fighter in boxing”

“I’m just an ordinary person,” Shakur Stevenson recently told Joe Rogan on Rogan’s hugely popular podcast. Stevenson was both right and wrong. He was right that he wasn’t interested in being one of the dazzling players. “I’m different,” he told Rogan. “I’m not like these guys.” Quite good, but Stevenson’s skills in the ring, which could be admired a few weeks ago when he completely outclassed the excellent Teofimo Lopez, show a different side of the man. It could be just an ordinary guy on the street. In the ring, however, the man is far from ordinary.
He may be humble, but Stevenson is candid about his career. “It’s just solid work, dedication and God-given ability,” he said. “I think I’m the most complete fighter in boxing.” No doubt many will now agree with this. “I just feel like I’m a fighter who can do anything,” he said. “I feel like I’m the best fighter in boxing.” Once again, no doubt many will now agree with this. Indeed, the fight with Lopez elevated Stevenson from a fighter who could be great to a fighter who is undoubtedly great. “It scared a lot of people,” he said of the Lopez fight.
Indeed, Stevenson knew Lopez would be a tough competitor if he took the stage. “I couldn’t believe how good he was,” Stevenson said of seeing Lopez perform live and in person last year in Time Square. But this only strengthened Stevenson’s determination. “I want to see what he can do to me,” he recalled telling himself. He has since learned what Lopez could do with him – and it wasn’t much. Stevenson now has two junior welterweight championship belts in his possession. Fighters may want to ignore him, but avoiding him won’t be an simple task if you’re an ambitious junior welterweight who doesn’t want to be accused of avoiding competition.
Perhaps surprisingly, Stevenson greatly admires his friend, the recently retired Terence Crawford, for his friendship and discipline. “He took my game from where it was to a very high level,” Stevenson said of his mentor. Greatness recognizing greatness. Like Crawford, Stevenson enjoys the hard-earned fruits of his labor. But he’ll be back in the ring soon, because there’s always a recent battle to fight. Stevenson won’t fight forever. He wants to retire someday with health and money. Bright and skilled – certainly a winning combination.

An overhaul of the Ali Act could push tiny boxing promoters out of business

Proposed changes to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act are gaining attention in Washington, but some industry officials say the changes could make it more tough for smaller promoters to continue to host boxing events across the United States in many local markets across the country.
The legislation, known as the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026, includes several fresh provisions related to medical supervision and fighter protection. The proposal called for higher injury insurance, required ambulance and medical staff at events, expanded drug testing and a higher minimum pay for players.
Supporters say the changes will improve safety standards in boxing. Others believe the additional requirements could raise the costs of promoting fights.
Enormous promotional companies with powerful financial resources would probably be able to bear the higher costs. Smaller organizers who host club shows and prospect cards tend to make much less money, and their events depend on smaller venues and regional audiences to sustain them.
Under the proposal, promoters would be required to carry at least $50,000 in insurance against player injuries and $15,000 in the event of accidental death. The minimum fighter pay will also boost from $150 per round to $200 per round, and drug testing will boost for many fights.
Some boxing insiders say these extra expenses could make it more tough for smaller promoters to put on shows. Fewer local fight cards may reduce opportunities for youthful fighters trying to build their records early in their careers.
The proposal has already passed through committee in the House and is expected to go to a vote in the House soon. If the bill is approved there, it would still have to pass the Senate before reaching the president’s desk. Lawmakers continue to debate how the changes could impact boxing’s business structure while strengthening protections for fighters across the sport.

‘How can he ignore me?’: Usyk’s must-see challenger reacts to being left off the hit list
Published

Oleksandr Usyk listed his ideal last three fights, starting with Rico Verhoeven in May, then winner Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois, and ending with a trilogy fight with the returning Tyson Fury.
Only the fight against Verhoeven is certain – which is controversial for Usyk’s WBC heavyweight title – and the remaining fights are still to be negotiated, but interim champion and mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel seriously questions that list.
In a conversation on Instagram, the German heavyweight said:
“My parents always told me to stay humble and respectful. But I can no longer accept being ignored. I deserve to fight for the title.”
In an interview with RTL/ntv and sport.de, Kabayel expanded on this point, saying that Usyk’s plan proves that “he is only interested in money.”
“I always respected Usyk very much for his sporting achievements and I said: ‘Hey, he’s not afraid of challenges and he keeps his words.’ But he is only interested in money; everything else doesn’t interest him. Now I noticed it again very clearly.
“How can he not name the number one in the rankings, his mandatory challenger? It’s just melancholy that he would rather fight Dubois or Fury for a third time, even though he has already beaten them both twice.”
Kabayel – who himself came to a draw in his last fight against Daniel Knyba – fully deserves a chance to win the full world title by defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov, Frank Sanchez and Zhilei Zhang to claim the WBC interim belt. Usyk has been cleared by the sanctioning body to fight him after Verhoeven, but the Ukrainian appears likely to vacate the belt or lobby for an undisputed fight against the winner of Wardley and Dubois.
Usyk is in danger of losing not only the WBC belt, but also the IBF and WBA belts. Neither promotion has commented on the Verhoeven fight and could very well have opted to get rid of Usyk rather than follow the WBC route of putting their belt on the line, which was met with extreme fan backlash.
