Ahead of Jermell Charlo vs. Canelo Alvarez, 'Iron Man' has released a final statement.
Later tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada, the two champions will clash. They will headline a Showtime pay-per-view event, in a historic bout. Alvarez vs. Charlo will be the first boxing match ever, where two undisputed male champions fight.
Furthermore, the historic contest has also had the added element of Terence Crawford. 'Bud' is arguably the greatest pound-for-pound boxer alive today, and has stated that he wants the winner of tonight's bout. Obviously, he would have to defeat Errol Spence Jr. in a potential rematch first.
Nonetheless, Jermell Charlo vs. Canelo Alvarez is viewed as one of the biggest fights of the year, and for good reason. The ceremonial weigh-ins went down last night, with both men being respectful, as the time for talking is now done.
For his part, 'Iron Man' released a final statement prior to the bout to social media. On Instagram, Charlo added a post captioned that he was doing this bout "for the culture", and that he was doing this for the people.
