Jermall Charlo is a well-known professional boxer who was born on May 19, 1990, in Lafayette, Louisiana. With his great strength and technical skills, he enjoyed huge success in the sport that positioned him for consideration at or around the top in middleweight circles.
Early Life and Introduction to Boxing
Much like his twin brother Jermell, Houston, Texas-raised Jermall was taught the very basics of boxing by their father from such an early age in life. This early beginning laid concrete for their future in this sport.
Amateur Career
Once upon a time, Jermall had aspirations of fighting in the 2008 Olympics. He has since broken a toe, taking those plans off the table. He decided to turn pro in 2008. His amateur career ended with an incredible record of 65-6 and proved to many fans that he would be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
Professional Debut and Prolific Rise through the Rankings
Turning professional on September 12, 2008, Charlo won by TKO in the second round against Cimarron Davis in Grand Prairie, Texas. Early in his career, Charlo went along quite nicely, scoring wins over the likes of Orlando Lora and Antwone Smith. He reached the end of 2014 with a record of 20-0, with 16 knockouts, making him an increasingly credible contender at light middleweight.
Middleweight Transition and Championship
Reign In February 2017, Charlo vacated his IBF light middleweight title to move up in weight division to middleweight due to issues when trying to make weight and wanting more serious fights. He made his maiden middleweight appearance in the win against Jorge Sebastian Heiland in the WBC title eliminator for number one. Other testament of his brilliance came on September 26, 2020 when Charlo outboxed Sergiy Derevyanchenko, which earned him the respect after that bout. Then during this fight, he remained cool to seal with a unanimous decision with cards – 116- 112, 117 -111 and 118- 110 as he retained WBC Middle Weight Title.
Recent Activity and Return to Ring
On November 25, 2023, Charlo finally returned to the ring after a bit over two years to dominate against José Benavidez Jr. in Las Vegas by unanimous decision. Charlo earned scores of 100-90, 99-91, and 98-92 to seal an emotional night at the Alamodome in San Antonio, confirming that Charlo belongs to middleweight and simply proving once more, still now, that the skill and the will are there.
Public Perception and Media Appearance
A career full of acclaim from in-ring work and the occasional criticism for inactivity, the recent return of Charlo once again put words regarding future potential matchups into his mouth and where he places at middleweight among the best.
