After an action-packed epic showdown in July 2021, the IBF, WBA, and WBC champion Jermell Charlo is going to lock horns with Brian Castano again on March 19 at Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles. However, the verdict of their previous fight could not decide the unified king of the junior middleweight division, therefore the rematch is scheduled to end the curiosity of fans, who are better.

Ahead of the blistering event, the unified champion Charlo took to an interview and fired on WBO welterweight king Terence Crawford. Notably, the undefeated champion is keen on taking shots against IBF and WBC welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. This high-profile event is in the course of many years but could not reach fruition.

As Spence Jr was out of action for the entire year in 2021 because of an eye injury so there was no possibility of a fight in the previous year. Maybe the undefeated American stalwarts fight this year.

What did Jermell Charlo say about Terence Crawford?

As of now, Jermell Charlo has a tough battle ahead. However, the champion gave a brutally honest message to the undefeated southpaw Crawford.
