Former two-division champion Jermall Charlo held a media workout in Houston on Wednesday in anticipation of his fight in Australia, scheduled for Saturday, July 25th at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia.  Charlo is currently in training camp alongside ex-welterweight champion Errol Spence and trainer Ronnie Shields. Charlo will return to action against Australia’s Koen Mazoudier in a ten-round super middleweight clash that will be part of a PBC pay-per-view event on Prime Video. Here is what Charlo had to say Wednesday from Houston:

 

“I’m one of the few fighters that have barely lost any rounds in my career, let alone lost a fight. It’s my game plan to just go out there and dominate. If he makes the wrong move, he’s gonna get knocked out.

 

“I’ve been training really hard and staying at peace. I can tell it’s working by the way my body’s flowing. Everything is just really clicking.

 

“I normally am one of the few guys who like to really study my opponents, but I don’t know anything about him. I’m putting my trust in Ronnie Shields. I’m gonna go in there and be ready to make adjustments.

 

“Errol and I are kind of total opposites. He doesn’t talk as much as me, he’s just about the work. I like to talk a little more. We used to be roommates in the amateurs and now we have this chance to work around each other in the pros. He works hard and I love training around him.

 

“I want to go for another world title in a third weight division. I feel a lot more comfortable at 168. It really doesn’t matter who they put in front of me. I feel like I’m gonna have my advantages in this division. I’m planning to make this quarter of my career the best one.

 

“At this point I’ve seen every style in boxing. My focus is just different now. I’ve eliminated distractions. I feel fresh at this point in my career. I’m doing all of the things that I’m supposed to be doing.

 

“I just want to give everyone some real fights. I want to get in there with warriors and do it for the fans. I pick my shots precisely and I have the power to hurt you at the end of the day. I’m here for the long run.  

 

“Once we get in the ring, I’m locked in. It doesn’t matter where we’re fighting.”
