Canelo Alvarez seems prepared to defend his undisputed super middleweight status against Jermell Charlo on September 30 in Las Vegas.
The Mexican boxer hasn’t scored a KO win since beating Caleb Plant in November 2021. Pulling himself up from his second career defeat against Dmitry Bivol in May 2022, Canelo returned to the win column by vanquishing GGG and John Ryder in his last two outings via decision.
While Jermell Charlo stands on his way next, Canelo’s fans seemingly expect a high-profile performance from him.
More than one month away from the fight, Canelo Alvarez posted a picture from the gym, citing his mental approach for ‘Iron Man’.
In the caption, Canelo Alvarez wrote, “Focused Determined Unbeatable.”
Jermell Charlo is also regarded as the undisputed super welterweight champion, although WBO has stripped him of their world title. That said, ‘Iron Man’ is on the verge of shocking the world. If he beats Canelo Alvarez, not only will he become the undisputed 168 lbs but also a superstar in the world of boxing.
35-1-1 as a pro, Charlo has avenged both the opponents against whom he couldn’t win in a first attempt. After losing unanimously to Tony Harrison in December 2018, ‘Iron Man’ knocked out Harrison six months later in a rematch.
Meanwhile, Jermell Charlo’s first fight against Brian Carlos Castano ended in a draw in 2021, but Charlo knocked out Castano 10 months later in a rematch. He will now welcome Canelo to the PBC for a three-fight deal.
