Many have pointed out that in his most recent Instagram post, the American boxer resembles a light heavyweight.
In the image, the fighter poses showing his muscles, only wearing shorts and with a large chain surrounding his neck and shoulders, which makes clear the great physical change he has undergone, increasing his body volume.
“With great risk comes great reward. #30thSept #CaneloCharlo,” was the message with which he accompanied the image.
It seems to indicate that Charlo is very committed to stealing all four of his belts from the Mexican, who currently stands as the undisputed 168-pound champion.
Initially, the goal of Premier Boxing Champions and Showtime was to make the Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo fight happen, but when the latter confirmed that he could not be ready in time, his twin Jermell raised his hand and will be the one to measure himself in the ring against the Jalisco native.
Jermell Charlo, committed to move up in weight
The challenge for Jermell Charlo is not easy, as he is used to fighting at 154 pounds, now he will have to go up to 168 to fight at 168 pounds.
Charlo will have to put on a lot of weight between now and September 30 to face the most important fight of his career.
Worldboxingnews.net indicates that something fundamental for Jermell will be the weight work, because, although his height gives him a reach advantage over the Mexican, he still must strengthen his body to be able to compete against Saul Alvarez.
Should he achieve the feat and manage to defeat the Mexican and take away his four titles, Jermell would probably not return to his original 154-pound weight class.
