Canelo Says Jermell Charlo Is Jumping to a Different Level


In boxing, the phrase “there are levels to this,” is a common mantra among fighters. Undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (59-2-2, 39KO) wants undisputed junior middleweight Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo to truly grasp the essence of this concept. Canelo believes this is a unique moment for Charlo, unlike any he has encountered.

On September 30, the entire boxing community will be eagerly watching Alvarez and Charlo trade punches in what promises to be an epic showdown. In the lead-up to the fight, the anticipation has reached fever pitch, with every major media outlet converging in Las Vegas to cover both fighters.

THE MOMENT AT THIS LEVEL IS DIFFERENT

During the final press conference, Canelo emphasized that Iron Man will see a significant difference in the atmosphere.

“It’s different. It’s hard to say what he’s going to find. He’s going to feel it, he’s going to feel it. It’s hard to say and explain. It’s something different, and he’s going to realize it Saturday night. It’s something different. He never been with a fighter like me.”

Whether you love him or not, the Mexican undisputed champion has squared off against some of the biggest names in the sport on the grandest stages. He has gone up against world champions such as Callum Smith, Sergey Kovalev, Billy Joe Saunders, Caleb Plant, Austin Trout, Miguel Cotto, Erislandy Lara, and Gennady Golovkin.

His two losses were at the hands of exceptional boxers like the Hall of Fame Inductee Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.

Alvarez has warned Charlo not to underestimate his prowess, especially when competing at this elite level. Canelo enters this fight with an extra dose of motivation, determined to prove to everyone, including the undisputed Texan, that he is still the reigning king.
