Unified WBC, WBA and IBF Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo and WBO Champion Brian Castaño will clash on May 14 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
It’s a rematch of one of the most important fights of 2021, where both will seek to become the first undisputed champion of the division.
Charlo, who is undergoing an exacting training camp guided by renowned trainer Derrick James, commented:
“I want to win the fight by knockout. This is one of the great achievements that a fighter can have, to be indisputed. So I’m going to enjoy this moment and I’m going to have fun on May 14, five days before my birthday. I am ready to win this fight in an impressive way.
“I am training differently this time. I am more dedicated than ever. I’m hungrier. I don’t know what’s next after this fight in my life and I’m glad God gave me the chance to face the same opponent and just have a better performance. It’s about me being the best Jermell Charlo.
“I had back spasms in the training camp of the first fight. I mean I came to this camp doing things the old-fashioned way. At first, it was being superstar Jermell Charlo. I put that aside and now it’s about digging deeper into the Jermell Charlo that I really am and testing myself with my training.”
