Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, announced on June 22 he would return to defend his 168-pound belts in September, and speculation immediately arose that it would be against Jermall Charlo.
ZAPOPAN, MEXICO - MAY 06: Canelo Alvarez arrives prior the fight for the Super Middleweight Championship at Akron Stadium on May 06, 2023 in Zapopan, Mexico. announced on June 22 he would return to defend his 168-pound beltsAlvarez will fight a Charlo, but rather than Jermall, he will face undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo, Jermall's twin brother, on Sept. 30 on Showtime Pay-Per-View in Las Vegas.
"At the end of the day, everyone understands Jermall has been dealing with some personal issues and the feeling is couldn't fully commit to a fight of this magnitude and be fully prepared and do all of the things he needed to do while balancing everything that is going on in his personal life," Espinoza told Yahoo Sports.
But with his personal issues making it difficult for him to compete, his brother was a near-perfect alternative. The only issue is size. Jermell fights at super welterweight, which has a limit of 154 pounds. Alvarez is now a super middleweight, with a limit of 168. And he briefly held a light heavyweight title, which has a limit of 175 pounds."Not that long ago, both of them were at 154," Espinoza said."And Jermell has been talking about going to 160 for a while.
Charlo's last two fights were for the undisputed super welterweight title against Brian Castano. They fought to a split draw on July 17, 2021, and Charlo won the rematch by 10th-round knockout on May 14, 2022.
