Wilder named favorite for Alvarez-Charlo fight

Former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the absolute super middleweight champion Saul Alvarez and the owner of all belts in two categories below Jermell Charlo.

“I am more than confident in Charlo, although it will be a competitive fight. I'm confident in both guys, no matter how strange it may sound. They have different techniques when it comes to boxing, but the fight will be great.

As for the favorite, I'm leaning more towards Charlo. Many fighters want to fight Canelo, and now that this chance comes, they need to make themselves known. Therefore, Charlo will work to the fullest. If he wins, it will be a defining moment in his career,” the American said in an interview with the YouTube channel K.O. Artist Sports.

The Alvarez-Charlo fight will take place on October 30 in Las Vegas.
