The WBO middleweight champion, Demetrius Andrade, doesn’t quite get along with the Charlo brothers. Both Jermall and Jermell Charlo have painted shots at ‘Boo Boo’ several times. Primarily, the unified super-welterweight king, Jermell Charlo, has expressed his ‘hatred’ towards the Providence native.

Recently, Andrade was in a chat with Fight Hype. Here he was asked to respond to the hate comments made on him by Jermell Charlo. He said, “Bro, you really hate me? I like you, I like you. You funny guy, but no clue.”

‘Boo Boo’ cracked up whilst laughing at ‘Ironman’s remarks on him. He wittily stated that he and Charlo can be friends and they both can hang out often.

‘Ironman’, who is one of the most renowned super-welterweights in the world, has shared a slight beef with Andrade from his amateur days. Earlier, he was in talks to stage a fight with either of the Charlo brothers, but the bout didn’t materialize.

In the above interview, Andrade was questioned about the same. However, the 32-year-old refused to reveal his opinion on the pertaining juncture.

Demetrius Andrade has been out of action for a year now. He maintained his unbeaten record with a successful title defense Luke Keeler. Now, ‘Boo Boo‘ is in search of a resilient opponent and Jermell Charlo could present him with a staunch challenge.

Demetrius Andrade to move down to confront Jermell Charlo?

Andrade competed in the super-welterweight roster until 2017, but went up to 160-pounds a year later. He claimed the WBO middleweight title in 2018 and has defended it successfully since then. The southpaw has kept a substantial run in this division until now and has shown no signs of slowing down.

Ever since he stepped up in the middleweight division, he hasn’t shown a magnificent interest in getting down to his earlier division. Hence, if Jermell Charlo steps up and demands a 12-round show with him at middleweight, this fight could probably get staged.

Both their promotions will need to think upon this ecstatic matchup and iron out the possible stuff for the fight.

On a scale of 1-10, how excited would you be to see this fight get booked?
