If difficult takes all day, impossible apparently takes five years or such is the case for Houston native and two-division world champ Jermall Charlo. Charlo has long pursued a fight with legendary Mexican four-division world champion Canelo Alvarez. It appears, finally, he may be nearing the long-awaited showdown. Charlo was the mandatory challenger for Alvarez and his WBC Super Middleweight title all the way back in 2018. In 2019 Canelo was minted "Franchise Champ" by the sanctioning body, and Charlo, was awarded the WBC "World Title." A title the Houstonian has defended a total of 4 times, including his most recent defense against Juan Macias Montiel at the Toyota Center in June of 2019. It has been two years since we have seen "Big Charlo" in the ring. He was originally, tentatively, scheduled to fight back in the Toyota Center on July 1st. That date was scratched and WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said Charlo could have more time and wasn't in any danger of being stripped. Fast Forward and according to 210 Boxing TV and multiple other sources, the deal is nearing finalization. Unofficially Charlo and Canelo would be looking at a September 16th date at Minute Maid Park in Houston. For Canelo, it would be a potential two-fight deal that would also include a date with WBC Cruiserweight champ Badu Jack in December.
