Echoing this sentiment, Canelo’s Manager and Trainer, Eddy Reynoso, reveals their intense high-altitude training regime, gearing up for the challenge Charlo presents.

Jermell Charlo, the pride of Houston, has had his own meteoric rise. His most recent victory, a knockout against Brian Castaño, solidified his place among boxing’s elite. With the guidance of Derrick James, 2022’s “Trainer of the Year”, Charlo’s trajectory has been nothing short of stellar. He and his twin, Jermall, even made boxing history in 2016, simultaneously holding world championships in the same class.

Charlo’s excitement is palpable. He sees this as more than just a fight; it’s an opportunity to etch his name in history. He acknowledges Canelo’s prowess but assures fans that they’re in for a treat as he brings his ‘Lions Only’ ethos to the ring.

In the words of Charlo, “When the fight’s over, people are gonna have to recognize that I’m the best fighter in the sport.”
