On Saturday night in San Antonio, the belts at 154 pounds will be unified. Who is left holding them will be decided in a 12-round match between Jermell Charlo and Brian Castaño. Charlo has the most to lose, coming in with the WBC, WBA, and IBF super-welterweight belts, while Castaño wagers his WBO hardware.
Who is Jermell Charlo
A Houston, Texas native, Charlo (34-1-0) has been vocal about wanting larger opportunities to match his resume. In May, he called out Canelo Alvarez during the media conference after Alvarez’s victorious bout with Billy Jo Saunders.
Charlo enters this fight on a three-fight win-streak, most recently defeating Jeison Rosario.
