“Boxing Has Descended Into Farce”: Fans Go Into Meltdown as Jermall Charlo Announces Return

Jermall Charlo, the 32-year-old WBC middleweight champion, has announced on his Instagram page that he will finally return to the ring in June 2023 after a two-year hiatus. Charlo has not disclosed who his opponent will be, but fans speculate that he will reschedule his fight against Maciej Sulecki, which was canceled two years ago. It will be challenging for Charlo to come back after two years since he’s older now and out of the sport for too long.

Boxing journalist Michael Benson tweeted about Charlo’s plan to make a comeback in the ring, which caused a stir among fans. Some fans expressed concern that Charlo may only be in it for the money and not have the same passion for the sport as they do. They fear he may vanish after earning a hefty paycheck. Though Charlo hasn’t entered the boxing ring for a while now, he has still been active in the boxing community. He recently shared his thoughts on the Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis fight.

Fans react to the news of Jermall Charlo returning

While some fans are pleased to hear the news, others have expressed their concerns about the state of boxing in general. Sam Edd, one boxing fan, stated that Charlo’s record had been far from impressive. He noted that Charlo had only fought once a year and against weak opponents, making him an unworthy champion. Edd added that Charlo’s return may not improve his reputation, as he might end up losing to a “bum.”

Gary Jenkins expressed his disappointment with the current state of boxing. He claimed that boxing had become a “farce” due to the numerous middlemen and belts involved. He also accused some boxers of ducking fights and called for fair refereeing to restore boxing’s global prestige.
