December WBC Crown defense for Jermall Charlo

World Boxing Council middleweight champion, Jermall Charlo, will defend his crown on December 7 against Dennis Hogan, in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn.

Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) conquered the interim belt on April 2018 against Hugo Centeno, then successfully defended against Matt Korobov and Brandon Adams. He was subsequently named by  the WBC as absolute champion after it  declared Saul  “Canelo” Alvarez as franchise champion.

Charlo will have an interesting and exacting test  with Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs), who comes from a close loss to Mexican super welterweight champion Jaime Munguía.
