Charlo, who has spoken about a return to the ring later this year, hasn\u2019t fought since moving up to challenge Canelo Alvarez in 2023.<\/p>\n
Despite the lengthy layoff, the 36-year-old American never lost his super welterweight titles in the ring and still considers himself the man to beat at 154 pounds. <\/p>\n
Tszyu was meant to face Charlo back in January 2023, only for \u201cIron Man\u201d to fracture his left hand in two places during sparring and the bout was scrapped.<\/p>\n
\u201cJermell Charlo has not been seen since he lost to Canelo Alvarez. He moved up two weight classes to 168,\u201d Mike Coppinger said on Inside The Ring<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cNow I\u2019m being told, he\u2019s being lined up for the winner of the Tim Tszyu-Errol Spence fight, which is taking place next month [July 26th] in Australia. <\/p>\n \u201cSo, obviously, nothing has been done yet. What I\u2019m being told, behind the scenes, Charlo is being lined up for that fight, which will be at 154. And that\u2019s his best weight class obviously. He was the undisputed champion at 154. <\/p>\n \u201cHe was the Ring champ there, and he\u2019s been pretty active on social media for the last couple of months talking about in terms of 154. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd don\u2019t forget, Charlo and Spence used to train together with Derrick James. So a lot of intrigue there.\u201d<\/p>\n Fox Sports Australia reached out to No Limit Boxing for comment on the reported plans, but they declined to comment.<\/p>\n The report comes just weeks after it was announced that Charlo\u2019s twin brother, Jermall, will feature in the co-main event<\/a> of the Aussie card against a yet-to-be-confirmed local opponent.<\/p>\n Charlo and Spence were once close friends, training together in Dallas under coach Derrick James, but their relationship has deteriorated in recent years.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Charlo tipped Tszyu to defeat his former stablemate.<\/p>\n
