Big Q covers the latest boxing news that Canelo Alvarez will Face Jermell Charlo, Not Brother Jermall in September.
In an abrupt turn of events, Saul “Canelo” Álvarez, the undisputed 168-pound champion who had been preparing for a showdown with 160-pound titleholder Jermall Charlo, will instead face Charlo’s brother, Jermell, the undisputed 154-pound champion in a clash of four-belt titleholders in September.
Jermall, who has been dealing with significant personal issues, did not believe he would be in the right head space to train properly for a Canelo fight, sources familiar with the situation told Sports Illustrated. Jermall (32–0) has not fought since June 2021, when he claimed a lopsided decision win over Juan Macias Montiel.
