It appears to be like like undisputed tremendous middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez will likely be defending his many titles towards Jermall Charlo on Might 4 in Las Vegas, Cinco de Mayo weekend, sources have revealed to The Ring.
The struggle includes a large storyline in Jermall (33-0, 22 knockouts) avenging his brother Jermell’s loss to Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) in September 2023.
It was the final time Alvarez fought. Jermall simply returned to the ring on November 25, 2023, as a brilliant middleweight, dominating Jose Benavidez Jr. on the David Benavidez-Demetrius Andrade undercard.
It was Jermall’s first time within the ring since defeating Juan Montiel in protection of the WBC middleweight title on June 19, 2021.
There’s numerous social media buzz that Alvarez might depart PBC, although quite a few sources inform The Ring that’s inaccurate, and he will likely be defending The Ring, WBC, IBF, and WBO 168-pound titles towards Jermall Charlo on Might 4.
