Two of boxing’s most recognizable names could finally settle their long-standing feud next year. Sources tell The Ring that Jermall Charlo and Caleb Plant are in advanced talks to meet in a super middleweight showdown in 2026. Both former champions competed on the same PBC card in May a setup designed to build toward a grudge match. Charlo (34-0, 23 KOs) looked sharp in his return, stopping Thomas LaManna via sixth-round TKO. Plant (23-3, 14 KOs), however, suffered a surprising decision loss to Jose Armando Resendiz at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, briefly derailing the promotional momentum.
