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

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.

Gervonta Davis is close to returning to action, according to her opponent’s name

It looks like Gervonta Davis is one step away from confirming her return to the ring.
Davis last fought in March 2025, when he earned a majority draw with Lamont Roach to defend his WBA lightweight title.
It was a controversial result, with many feeling that Roach had done enough to get the nod, especially after a knockdown was not awarded in his favor after “Tank” voluntarily chose to take a knee in round nine.
The next 12 months left many in doubt as to whether Davis would return to play at all. A planned exhibition with Jake Paul in November has been canceled over the Baltimore man’s naming in a civil lawsuit over domestic allegations, the latest in a string of issues going beyond the ropes.
Another drama occurred after an arrest warrant was issued for “Tank”, citing similar accusations, which led to him being stripped of his WBA lightweight title.
Regardless, it looks like Davis is ready to make a comeback after this happened Reported by Mike Coppinger that he is in advanced talks about a fight with Isaac Cruz, the man whom “Tank” considered his number one target at the end of last year.
Davis has already secured a victory over Cruz, who last fought in December when he fought to a majority draw against former foe “Tank” Roach – a fighter he believes should be given a chance to face him again.

The fight between Luis Nery and John Riel Casimero will take place on April 18 in Kyrgyzstan

Neither player holds a title and neither has been part of any real championship talk in recent seasons. Nery has already held the bantamweight and junior featherweight belts, although his recent appearances at featherweight have shown that the path up is confined. At 126 pounds, he looked undersized and unable to apply the same pressure that once carried him through lighter divisions, which makes a return to 122 pounds a more practical move.
Saikou x Lush Boxing will promote the event as part of a three-day boxing show in the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The gala will be held at the Gazprom Sports Convoluted, an extraordinary setting for two players who regularly appeared on larger international stages at the beginning of their careers.
Nery (37-2, 28 KO) will fight in Kyrgyzstan for the second time in a row after appearing there in October last year. The 31-year-old Mexican southpaw defeated Sathaporn Saart by technical decision in the eighth round after an accidental head collision put the fight on the scorecards.
The win was his second in a row since Naoya Inoue stopped him in the sixth round in May 2024. Nery made a comeback earlier in 2025, stopping Kyonosuke Kameda in the seventh round before extending his rebound stretch with a victory over Saart.
Casimero (35-5-1, 24 KOs), now 37, built his reputation by winning junior flyweight, flyweight and bantamweight titles early in his career. Activity has been confined and results inconsistent over the past few seasons, leading to him being 2-1-1 in his last four fights.
His last fight was in December, when he defeated Tom Mizokoshi in the fifth round in Japan. Two months earlier, he appeared at the same October gala in Kyrgyzstan, where Nery fought Saart and lost to Kameda by unanimous decision of ten rounds.
The April meeting brings together two former champions who once operated at the forefront of the sport’s lighter divisions. At this stage, it could be read as more of a veteran clash between recognizable names rather than a fight expected to impact the junior featherweight championship race.

Oleksandr Usyk is naming the heavyweight fight he wants after Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk is taking Rico Verhoeven seriously, perhaps because he will face a bigger challenge later.
The elite southpaw will face kickboxing icon Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt in a fight focused on spectacle after years of hard-fought victories on the road. Even though Usyk has strayed from his usual matchmaking, he has now assured fans that they can expect a return to top-level championship boxing later.
Speaking on DAZN’s Inside the Ring, Usyk revealed that after the fight, his goal would be to become the undisputed heavyweight champion for a third time, with his primary goal being either Daniel Dubois or Fabio Wardley.
“For me it’s a real fight. Yes, Rico is not a good boxer, ok, nice fight, no problem, but I want my next fight [against the] Daniel Dubois and Wardley winner.”
Wardley was promoted from interim to full WBO champion when the Ukrainian vacated the belt rather than face him as mandatory challenger. His first defense against Dubois, scheduled for May 9 in Manchester, is perilous.
This is a legacy-based strategy that Usyk has used in the past, dropping the IBF belt to allow Dubois’ elevation, defending against Anthony Joshua, and then facing him to regain the belt. If “DDD” defeats Wardley, he could expect a trilogy fight, but fan interest may wane given how the first two fights went.
It all depends on whether Usyk retains his three titles. Although the fight for the WBC belt with Verhoeven is highly controversial, the IBF and WBA leagues have not been mentioned yet. The sanctioning authorities may well decide to declare a vacancy in their belts.
