The undisputed 154-pound championship bout between Brian Castano and Jermell Charlo is set to be postponed. Castano has been forced to withdraw from the fight.
As per the recent reports, Brian Castano suffered a minor right bicep tear which has forced him to pull out of the machup. The bout was scheduled for March 19th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
ESPN boxing journalist Mike Coppinger reported the same over Twitter. He suggested that the bout would be pushed to a further date as Brian Castano is expected to recover in about three to four weeks. Coppinger said:
"Sources: Brian Castano suffered a minor right biceps tear while sparring, postponing the rematch with Jermell Charlo for the undisputed 154-pound championship that was set for March 19. The first fight, in July, was a draw. Castano expected to recover in roughly 3 to 4 weeks."
Brian Castano's injury came at the worst possible time. It is worth noting that the March 19th bout between the two was highly anticipated as the first bout between them resulted in a split decision draw.
It remains to be seen as to when the two will cross paths in the ring.
Jermell Charlo's twin brother was recently arrested over felony charges
Jermell Charlo's twin brother Jermall was recently arrested in Fort Bend County, Texas for allegedly assaulting a family member. 'Hitman' was arrested and taken into custody over a 3rd degree assault with an unsecured bond for his arrest set at $10,000.
Thankfully for 'Hitman', he was released from the Fort Bend County Jail as he met the requirements for his bail bond. However, Charlo is not completely out of the situation just yet. Authorities involved have moved forward with the case. The accused boxer is set to appear in court on March 28th for the first hearing of the case.
Jermell and Jermall are fighting under the PBC promotion. The latter is among the front runners to face Canelo Alvarez, with the former eyeing a rematch against Brian Castano at a later date.
