After Their Fight Was Called Off, Tim Tszyu’s Promoter Delves Into Why He Understands Jermell Charlo’s Decision to Fight Canelo Alvarez

It’s been a season of surprises in the boxing world. From scheduled fights falling apart to fighters taking on opponents we didn’t think would happen anytime soon, it’s been a moment. One such bout that has kept fans on their limbs is the upcoming one between Jermell Charlo and Canelo Alvarez. This is mainly because Charlo had to jump two weight classes to see Alvarez in the ring. And second, we all thought it would be Charlo’s brother Jermall who would take on this bout. However, Jermall had to excuse himself from the bout citing personal reasons.

Since, ‘Iron Man’ Charlo is going ahead with the bout against Canelo, his earlier announced fight with Tim Tszyu stands canceled for now. Amidst these developments, Tim’s promoter has broken down what the clan is feeling about their match being canceled. It remains crucial to see what Charlo going head-to-head with Canelo means for the Aussie boxer, Tszyu.

Tim Tszyu’s promoter says he understands Charlo’s decision

‘The Soul Taker’ Tszyu’s promoter and No Limit CEO George Rose sat down with Fox Sports Australia to spill the beans about Tim’s plans for this year. Rose says Charlo’s decision is an understandable one since no one would pass on the chance to fight Canelo. He says, “But I also understand Charlo’s decision. And put in the same position, I think everyone chooses the Canelo fight. Because it’s an iconic fight; and the biggest money fight. It’s a chance for Charlo to make history, and change his life. And what’s his alternative? Go and lose all four belts against Tim Tszyu.”

The No Limit CEO also thinks that Alvarez is primed to beat Jermell Charlo. He said that it’s been disappointing to see Charlo’s fight with Tim fall flat given everyone was rooting for it for two years now. It remains crucial to see if the WBO will strip Charlo of his title as he won’t be taking the mandatory fight against Tim before September 30.

What does Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo mean for Tszyu?

Promoter George Rose vividly spoke about the plans that lay ahead for ‘The Soul Taker,’ He revealed that regardless of whether Tim takes the fight to become Australia’s newest world boxing champion this week or not, he will certainly be fighting as planned this year. It is reported that he has planned for a Las Vegas fight camp in the coming weeks.

As for the Canelo vs Charlo bout directly impacting Tim’s title status, if Jermell fails to take the mandatory fight as stipulated by the WBO before the deadline, then Tim Tszyu would be upgraded from the interim championship.

The Charlo and Canelo bout is going ahead owing to the three-fight $100 million deal. The latter signed with promotional company Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). Despite being offered interim WBC super Middleweight champ David Benavidez, he asked PBC for someone else. That was Jermell’s cue to enter.

Jermell Charlo will be facing Canelo Alvarez on the 30th of September in Las Vegas, Nevada. Who do you think will take the title home at this Undisputed Vs Undisputed bout?
