Jermall Charlo has put himself in the running for a big fight against Canelo Alvarez. The American boxer knocked out Thomas LaManna in his latest bout, showing he's ready to take on bigger challenges at super middleweight.
Charlo's win over LaManna marked his 34th victory, with 23 of those coming by knockout. He looked comfortable fighting at the higher weight class, which caught the eye of many boxing experts.
Timothy Bradley, speaking on his YouTube channel, shared his thoughts on Charlo's performance:
"Charlo looked comfortable at super middleweight. If he stays focused, he could face a bigger name fighter like Canelo. He should think about fighting on a Turki card. It'll motivate him and he'll make good money."
Charlo's had his share of ups and downs. He's dealt with a lack of rhythm and some personal problems in the past. But now, he seems to be getting back on track.
Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, already has plans for his next fight. He'll face Terence Crawford on September 13. This match is part of a four-fight deal Canelo has with Turki Alalshikh.
The idea of Charlo fighting Canelo isn't new. Last year, Charlo's twin brother Jermell stepped into the ring with Canelo. That fight got people talking about a potential matchup between Jermall and Canelo.
But Charlo might need to prove himself one more time before he gets a shot at Canelo. There's a line of fighters waiting for their chance, and Canelo's got commitments to fulfill.
If Charlo can't get the Canelo fight right away, he's got other options. He could face fighters like Edgar Berlanga, Hamzah Sheeraz, Christian Mbilli, or Diego Pacheco. These matches could help Charlo stay sharp and improve his standing in the division.
The road to a Canelo fight isn't easy, but Charlo's latest win has definitely put him in the conversation. Boxing fans will be watching closely to see what's next for both fighters.
