In what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated bouts of the year, Jermell Charlo is set to challenge the undisputed super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez, on September 30th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Charlo is on a mission to not only entertain but to dethrone Canelo, the “Face of Boxing”, who stands tall with a 59-2-2 record.
Charlo, fueled by past controversies and his underdog status, is leaving nothing to chance. “I visualize winning this fight. This is my moment to make non-believers believers,” he confidently stated in a recent interview. With the odds favoring Canelo, Charlo sees this as an opportunity to prove his detractors wrong and solidify his legacy in the boxing world.
On the flip side, Canelo remains unfazed by the looming challenge. Reflecting on past defeats, he emphasized resilience and the importance of moving forward. “You have to see how you lost, and also accept it and take it like a man and move on,” Canelo remarked, highlighting his unwavering focus on the bout ahead.
The stakes are incredibly high for both fighters. A win for Charlo would solidify his legacy and potentially make him a two-division undisputed champion. For Canelo, it’s about defending his title and proving once again why he's considered one of the best in the sport.
