Charlo Twins Talk Headlining First PPV, Upcoming Opponents

The Charlo twins are just over a month away from returning to the squared circle with the world champion brothers headlining their first PPV event on Sat. September 26.

The PPV doubleheader sees Jermall Charlo (30-0, 22 KO) defending his WBC Middleweight Championship against Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-2, 10 KO), while Jermell Charlo (33-1, 17 KO) faces off against Jeison Rosario (20-1-1, 14 KO) in a super welterweight unification bout with the WBC, WBA and IBF straps up for grabs.

The Texas natives featured on the latest edition of the Last Stand Podcast with Brian Custer and spoke about their upcoming bouts as well their thoughts on what it means to headline a PPV event.

“It gives the boxing world another chance to see me and my twin brother at the top level and on a top showcase. We’re going to get a chance to showcase our talent, and we’ve been on mainstream cards before, so I don’t think this will affect our performance… It’s long overdue, me and my twin brother are ready to put it down for the whole day of boxing on the 26th,” Jermall said, speaking about the upcoming event.

“It’s going to bring out a different audience, and it’s going to make viewers realize me and my brother deserve to be here,” Jermell added.

Derevyanchenko and Rosario are both in the upper echelon of their respective divisions. The Charlo twins can expect their opponents to bring their ‘A game’ on September 26, making it arguably the most anticipated boxing event so far of 2020.

“If he wants to bang in there, we can bang in there,” Jermell said, discussing his matchup with Rosario.

“If he wants to go into some deep schooling, we can go into some Charlo schooling. We can take him wherever he wants to go, I’m willing to put all on the line just like he is.

If Jermell hands Rosario just the second loss of his pro career, the 30-year-old says the entire 154 division will be in his sights.

” If it aligns the right way, I think everybody is on the Jermell Charlo hitlist. They know who the man is in the weight division. Hurd is still available if he still wants to fight at this weight, I don’t believe so. Erislandy Lara if he’s still available. I got anybody who wants Jermell Charlo, I’m a different fighter, and nobody is on my level, and nobody could stand in front of me at 154.”

While Jermell is looking to cement his status as the world’s top super welterweight, his brother will be aiming to show that his name deserves to stand alongside the likes of middleweight heavy-hitters Canelo Álvarez and Demetrius Andrade.

“Sergiy he’s been in there with (Gennadiy) Golovkin and (Danny) Jacobs so he might feel that I might not be that type of fighter or that caliber of fighter but September 26 you guys get a chance to see me have fun. I’m a rock the stage. It’s my time to shine.

“Me taking on the fight already sends a message, it’s how I’m going to stop him, that’s going to make the difference. It’s how I perform we’ve been in here with some top names, and he’s been in with some top names too. So this is one of those fights where fans can’t say nothing about the opponent.”

The Charlo brothers may have fought on the same card before but the stakes have never been this high. They have spoken in the past about being the future of boxing and on Sep 26 they will get that chance to prove it.
