Charlo Twins: From neighbourhood fighting to becoming boxing’s real deals

In a rare occasion, boxing held a double-header for its pay-per-view featuring the twin Jermell and Jermall Charlo.
And the twins did not disappoint. Both secured the wins to cap off the fight night.
Jermell won via eight-round Technical Knockout against Jeison Rosario to unify the three junior middleweight belts while Jermall’s unanimous decision victory over Sirgiy Derevyanchenko retained his WBC middleweight belt.
But before they became a star in boxing, the twin was already a star in their childhood.
They were little gladiators fighting in the neighbourhood to make money.
Well, you will be surprised to know who made them do it, it was their father who was an amateur boxer.
Whether he was starting his kids early, it was an action-packed childhood as what they described it.
\”It would be like meeting at the courtyard at apartments, put on a pair of gloves, and whatever parent feel like they want to put some money up on their child.’
\”That\’s how my dad made a living. Me and my brother was the studs that would run through anybody at that age group, from five to seven,” Jermell said.
\”It was about fighting. It was about winning. It wasn\’t never even really about being a man or none of that. We was too young for that. We were just in there being warriors, little fighters, little killers, little go-getters— that\’s what they used to call us,” he added.
So it will be no brainer to see why they are so tough and strong.
At a young age, just fighting to win without even thinking about tactics made them stronger in mind.
And decades after, they are now conquering the 154-pound division.
But they also faced obstacles in the start of their career but patiently and passionately overturned the tables to be where they are right now.
The ring they want to be fighting.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
