WBC 160-pound interim champion Jermall Charlo told during the press conference, that Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and GGG will sooner or later fight with him.
Charlo will meet Willie Monroe on December 22 in New York for his first title defense.
“My first fight at 160, [Heiland] had a hurt leg, and I didn’t get the chance to show the fans and the people at Barclays what I was made of. With Hugo being a bigger guy, I showed that I had a future at 160. Now, I’m fighting Willie Monroe, who has experience at 160, and he’s a big guy also but not of my stature,” said Charlo, 28, of Houston, Texas, on Wednesday (via
Boxingscene).
“I’m learning that being at 160 pounds is just like 154 pounds. My body is constantly growing, so I’m filling out at 160 and I feel good. This has been one of my best camps that I’ve had because I’ve gotten a chance to experience it twice already…I’m only getting wiser, faster and stronger…I’ll let those guys [Alvarez and Golovkin] take care of their campaigns for now, but sooner or later, Canelo and Golovkin, they’re gonna have to answer to Jermall Charlo.” he added.
