Talking about it, Jermell Charlo said, “I mean, as big as the Klitschkos or bigger. We want to be champions together in the same weight division again if that’s possible. We just want to be legends, you know? — Where people follow our platforms and they recognize. Like every time they see, they are like ‘They are Dawgs.’ ’’

However, will they ever compete against each other? Well, for the timing, no. The Charlo twins have said that they will never go against each other in a professional fight.
