Jermall Charlo is a highly accomplished professional boxer hailing from the United States. He was born on May 19, 1990, in Richmond, Texas, and started his boxing career at the age of eight. Charlo has become a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world, having won multiple world championships in the middleweight division. He is currently the WBC middleweight champion, a title he has held since 2019.
Charlo has an impressive professional record of 31 wins, 0 losses, and 22 knockouts, making him one of the most successful boxers of his generation. He has defeated some of the biggest names in the sport, including Austin Trout, Julian Williams, and Sergey Derevyanchenko.
Over the past two years, Charlo has faced numerous challenges that have significantly impacted his career. He has only had the opportunity to fight once during this period, and on top of that, he has also encountered legal issues that have added to his troubles. These events have made it a difficult period for him, both personally and professionally.
According to TMZ Sports, he has been arrested again, this time for crashing his Lambo while intoxicated.
A spokesperson for the Pearland Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports … Charlo, riding in his red Lambo, and another car were involved in a collision at around 6:41 PM — but after a verbal argument between the two drivers ensued, Charlo left the scene, which cops say is a no-no.
When authorities attempted to pull him over, they say Charlo ignored their sirens … until he was boxed in by cops at a red light roughly a mile away from the accident area.
Cops say they arrested the 33-year-old at the scene … and when they administered sobriety tests at the jail a short time later — he showed signs of intoxication.
Charlo was ultimately booked on three separate misdemeanor charges — DWI with a BAC of greater than .15, fleeing a police officer, and leaving the scene of a crash involving $200 of damage or more.
Charlo’s attorney says he isn’t on drugs, which I guess is a good sign.
