WBC junior middleweight champion Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo (31-0, 15 KOs) apparently doesn’t think too much of Floyd Mayweather JR’s decision to fight yet another MMA fighter in Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“Floyd’s talking about fighting these MMA fighters and s***. These guys are like walking mummies,” Jermell said via Michael Benson. “They can’t get in there and box with us champions. That’s BS. If you’re still in the fight game, what’s up? We in the fight game too.”
“He’s dropped 21 fighters, so we know he has power,” Jermell said. “You can forget the critics because this is going to be a great fight. Me and Tony Harrison are coming to fight. It’s going to be two strong explosive guys leaving it all out there.”
