LAS VEGAS — The biggest night of Jermell Charlo's professional life is nearly at hand, and it's a different man than we've largely seen through his first 37 professional bouts. He's had a lucrative and successful career in boxing, though he hasn't crossed over to the mainstream more than 15 years after starting despite plenty of accomplishments.
He's thus beaten every man he's faced as a professional. That's a rarity in today's boxing world.
But walk him through a crowd of, say, football or basketball fans, and the recognition level is going to drop considerably. Boxing matches are judged big on two criteria, essentially. First, is the significance of the bout in the ring. It's hard to get any more significant than to have the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight champion risk his belts against the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO super welterweight champions.
Alvarez's first choice to fight was Dmitry Bivol, the light heavyweight champion who beat him last year. But when Alvarez and Bivol couldn't come to a deal, Alvarez left Matchroom Sport and signed a three-fight promotional deal with Premier Boxing Champions. The fight was first offered to Jermall Charlo, who accepted the bout. But he's been fighting mental health issues and hasn't boxed since defending his WBC middleweight title on June 19, 2021.
