Last September, Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez defeated Jermell Charlo by unanimous decision in 12 rounds in Las Vegas. Now a few months later, the twin brother of the American boxer, Jermall Charlo, wants to take revenge against the Mexican.
Canelo has two fights scheduled for 2024. One in May and another in September, and recently Jermall’s trainer, Ronnie Shields, launched in an interview with BoxingScene.com who hopes that the Charlo twin will be in Canelo’s plans to face him next year.
“I dream of a fight between Jermall and Canelo happening in 2024, it would be very special. But Canelo chooses his opponents. It depends on him,” said the American boxer’s coach.
Even Jermall stated that he has everything to face Canelo, and although he has already entered the ring with his brother, he assures that it will be totally different with him. “Pick me, I know they’re going to say he already fought my twin brother (Jermell), but I’ll be a totally different twin when he faces me. “I am not criticizing anything my brother did, he dared to want to be great, he went up two divisions to fight Canelo,” Jermall commented in November.
However, the Texan boxer already rejected his opportunity to fight Canelo several months ago. Well, due to the weight difference, Charlo preferred to stay in the category in which he is already champion. “I’m the champion at 160. It’s only fair that I stay where I am and continue doing what I’m doing,” Jermall commented on that occasion.
That is why his brother Jermell, who is even a weight lower than his twin, decided to go up two categories to face the Mexican. In a fight that Canelo started as a favorite and won without any problem.
For now, Canelo Álvarez’s next rival in 2024 is unknown. Many speculate that the big fight could end up taking place against David Benavídez, although the Mexican has made it clear that as absolute champion of the category, he will do “whatever he is given.” “he wins it.”
