Boxing legend Canelo Alvarez is scheduled for a potential clash with the current Undisputed Light Middleweight World Champion Jermell Charlo. The Mexican boxer will be defending his Super-Middleweight World titles against ‘Ironman’ Charlo on the coming weekend.
Canelo was earlier rumored to fight Jermell Charlo’s twin brother Jermall Charlo. However, Charlo stepped up two weight divisions to give the Super-Middleweight World title a chance.
When it comes to stats, both renowned boxers have won their last matches. The excellent counterpuncher Canelo defended his belts on the line against English fighter John Ryder earlier this year. On the other hand, Charlo last fought with Brian Castano in a rematch in May 2023.
To those who are unaware, Ironman has been defeated only once in his record. Tony Harrison in 2018 won the clash against Charlo. Although, a year later, Ironman took his revenge with a knockout victory and grabbed the Light Middleweight World title.
For now, fans are extremely excited for this highly-anticipated clash between the top boxers. Keep reading to know all the details of the fight below.
