Jermall Charlo is back with a vengeance, setting his sights on Caleb Plant and Canelo Alvarez. The boxing world is buzzing with Charlo’s recent outburst, hinting at a possible showdown with the two champions. While many believe Charlo should take a few tune-up fights before challenging Canelo, the undisputed super middleweight champion, Charlo seems undeterred.
His determination is evident as he expressed his desire to face former IBF super middleweight champion Plant, who has been vocal about wanting to fight Charlo. The animosity between the two heightened after Plant’s infamous slap last summer, which Charlo has taken months to respond to. Now, he's ready for revenge.
However, before Charlo can think of settling scores with Canelo and Plant, he has a crucial bout lined up against Jose Benavidez Jr. on November 25th. This fight, part of the undercard for the David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade bout, is crucial for Charlo, especially after his lackluster performance against Juan Macias Montiel 27 months ago.
Charlo’s recent social media outburst made his intentions clear: “When I get the chance, I’m going to knock the f**k out of Caleb Plant.” He also hinted at a potential clash with Canelo, seeking revenge for his twin brother, Jermell, who faced a humiliating defeat against the Mexican champion.
