Jermall Charlo recently revealed that he would like to face both Caleb Plant and Canelo Alvarez and dominate the super middleweight division.

The former two-division boxing champion Charlo will face Thomas LaManna in Las Vegas on May 31. In the main event of the card, Plant will face Jose Armando Resendiz. If both Plant and Charlo secure victories, a fight between the two would likely happen.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Charlo expressed satisfaction with his training camp and expressed interest in fighting Alvarez and Plant in the future. He said:

"I want to fight with Caleb in semifinal type of deal but this doesn't have nothing to do with that. I'm going out there to just be the best Jermall Charlo. I'm only going to get better from here.

"I feel like I made some moves in my camp and I made some changes and I feel like those changes are like for the better of me and I'm healthy, I'm better now, so really, I'm happy to be back in this position to be able to put my undefeated record on the line and show the the world why I'm one of the greats."

He added:

"Just want to get the Caleb Plant fight out of the way. I don't want to take too long with the Canelo fight that he's made so much money. I'm pretty sure he still has Terence Crawford to worry about. That could be next year sometime and then after that I really don't know."
