Champion Golovkin is invited by WBC for a unifying match
New Challenge in the Boxing Ring: Jermall Charlo's Bold Callout to Gennady Golovkin
The boxing world is buzzing as Jermall Charlo has ignited a potential major bout by challenging WBC upstart Gennady Golovkin. Charlo, the WBC middleweight champion, has set his sights on dethroning Golovkin, who also holds the IBF and IBO titles after a successful title defense, according to reports from Vesti.
Charlo has declared his intention to face off against Golovkin in an unification bout, right here in his hometown of Houston, Texas, USA.
"I'm aiming for a unification match at 160 pounds. I want to bring Golovkin to my home turf, Houston," Charlo announced. Interestingly, Charlo has successfully defended his title a total of 5 times.
It's worth noting that this challenge comes at an interesting juncture in Charlo's career. Although he's a former two-division world champion, recent health issues and inactivity have led to the loss of his WBC championship belt. Charlo is, however, scheduled to make his comeback by facing Thomas LaManna on May 31, 2025, in Las Vegas.
As of now, there are no confirmed details about a potential opponent for Charlo in a unification bout in Houston, Texas. Any potential opponent would need to hold a title in the same weight division to make this a unification bout. Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated face-off!
