Jermell Charlo Eyeing Return in Mid-June

Original reports had undisputed Junior Middleweight champion Jermell Charlo, of Houston returning in April to make his title defense against Tium Tszyu of Australia. That return date of April. is likely only positive thinking and is far too aggressive a time frame according to sources close to the undisputed 154-pound world champ. He is reportedly recovering from two separate breaks in his hand. The hand is recovering as expected and Charlo is doing well. However, it's two to two and a half months away from even being able to return to normal boxing activity. At this time, he can resume and restart training camp. At the current time and with the normal recovery time the bout will likely be rescheduled for mid-June, not April. According to the source close to Charlo, they are looking at mid-June.
