Jermell Charlo recently took to IG Live to talk to his audience about what’s going on in his life and his career, and Charlo openly says he’s looking to make the biggest fights possible for him, including
potential ones against Errol Spence and rival Terence Crawford.
“I honestly think Errol Spence is a good fight,” Charlo said. “I don’t have no issue with Errol Spence, I just believe that I don’t know what’s happening with the boxing world. Like right after my era with the Canelo sh-t, like I started to watch boxing change and I got my little distance and I thought it was important for me to focus strictly on my family and my kids and my life and my future. And I got hella Ms because I was knocking them (guys) out even before they was even boxing.
“I’m in the third generation of boxing. I was fighting when Mayweather was fighting, I was fighting when De La Hoya was fighting, I fought on Bernard Hopkins’ undercard…I don’t know if there’s too many of us left.
“I want all the smoke. I want smoke with Crawford, I want all the smoke. Get me in the best shape, I’m in shape, I train, my lifestyle is on the move, everything is great so why wouldn’t I want the best, man…Only interested in fights that makes sense and make money. Vergil a great fighter, Vergil could fight…I ain’t ever even seen the Zayas kid.
“If they gave me an offer for Crawford — and me and Crawford, I talked to him one time — it’d be an honor to get in the ring with him…Being in the ring with Crawford would be amazing, I’d give him the best fight of today’s era. I don’t think that there’s no other fight out there in the boxing world for Crawford to make right now. The best fight, really, would be me.”
Charlo hasn’t fought since losing a wide decision to Canelo Alvarez in September 2023.
