Jermell De'Avante Charlo (born May 19, 1990) is an American professional boxer who has held the WBC super welterweight title since 2016. His identical twin brother, Jermall Charlo, is also a professional boxer and is older by one minute. Both brothers are graduates of Hastings High School in Alief, Houston,Texas. They began boxing when they started following their father, a former boxer, into the gym.[1]

Amateur career

Charlo graduated to the elite level on the amateur boxing scene after just two years, winning a bronze medal at the 2005 junior Olympics at 15 years old.[2]

Charlo ended his amateur career with a 56–8 record.[1]

Professional career

Light middleweight

Early years

He began his professional career on December 8, 2007 with a four round decision win over Corey Sommerville.

On April 19, 2008, he stopped Jesus Villareal in three rounds and after scoring an impressive first round TKO over Dwayne Jones in June, Charlo added the names Rodrigo Villareal (TKO4) and Deon Nash (W6) to his victims list before the year was out.

In 2009, he scored a shutout four round decision over Juan Serrano on February 28, got a decision win over Carlos Garcia over six rounds on April 4, TKO'd Federico Flores Jr. in the eighth round on June 26, defeated Vardan Gasparyan in six, and then finished up the year with a second round knockout of unbeaten prospect Abdon Lozano.

Charlo scored a sensational one-punch knockout of Chicago's Chris Chatman in the third round. Chatman's only previous loss was a six-round decision to 2008 U.S. Olympian Demetrius Andrade in 2009, but he was no match for Charlo, who controlled his awkward opponent for most of the fight. In the third round, he landed a flush straight right hand to Chatman's chin and knocked him out at 1 minute, 22 seconds. With this win, at the age of 22, Charlo had a record of 22 wins, with no losses with 17 wins inside the distance.[3]

On June 8, 2013, Charlo fought former light welterweight contender Demetrius Hopkins (33-2-1, 13 KOs). In a close back and forth affair were Charlo controlled the action in the early rounds with his aggression and power shots, he defeated Hopkins by unanimous decision. All three judges scored it 115-113. The crowd seemed to be displeased with the performances.[4]

Charlo next fought in October against 34 year old Jose Angel Rodriguez (17-2-1, 2 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round fight at the BB&t Center in Sunrise, Florida.[5] Charlo won the fight in the last round via TKO.

Charlo vs. Rosado

Charlo defeated Philadelphia veteran boxer and former world title challenger Gabriel Rosado (21-7, 13 KOs) on January 25, 2014 at D.C. Armory in Washington, D.C. on Showtime. Charlo passed the biggest test of his career and looked good doing so as he easily out boxed Rosado to win a lopsided 10-round unanimous decision. The judges scored the fight 100-90, 99-91 and 97-93 all in Charlo's favor. Charlo landed 50% of his punches thrown compared to Rosado's 18%.[6][7]

On May 24, 2014 Charlo defeated Charles Bellamy at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec in a 12 round unanimous decision win when the judges scored it 118-109 twice and 115-111.[8]

Charlo vs. Andrade negotiations

Charlo was scheduled to fight Demetrius Andrade at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on December 13, 2014 for WBO Light middleweight title but before the fight was cancelled due to purse issues. Andrade was reportedly offered $250,000, but later increased to what would be a career high $300,000 purse.[9][10]

Charlo vs. Matirosyan

Following the cancellation of the Andrade fight, Charlo fought in December 2014 against Mario Alberto Lozano on the undercard of Amir Khan vs. Devon Alexander at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Charlo won a clear 100-90 on all three scorecards of the 10 round fight.[11]

On March 28, 2015 Charlo fought his biggest test to date, against former world title challenger Vanes Martirosyan (35-1-1, 25 KOs) at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Charlo won a fairly contentious unanimous decision. The scores were 97-93, 96-94, 96-94.[12]

Charlo vs. Jackson

In October 2015, Charlo knocked out former light middleweight champion Joachim Alcine (35-7-2, 21 KOs).[13]

During the annual WBC Convention in Kunming, China it was announced that Charlo would fight John Jackson (20-2, 15 KOs) for the vacant WBC light middleweight title. The title became vacant following the retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr.[14] The fight took place on May 21, 2015 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, in Las Vegas. The card also included top light middleweight boxers Erislandy Lara, Vanes Martirosyan, Austin Trout and brother Jermall, who successfully defended his IBF title. Through the first 7 rounds, Charlo had only won one round on all three judges scorecards, badly trailing (64-69). In round 8, Charlo hit Jackson with a right hand to the head followed by two lefts as Jackson turned away to adjust his mouthpiece and failed to keep his guard up. Referee Tony Weeks immediately jumped in to protect Jackson, who was knocked into the corner turnbuckle, and signaled the knockout 51 seconds into the round.[15]

Charlo vs. Hatley

In December 2016, at the WBC 54th Convention in Miami, Florida. It was announced that Charlo would be due to fight two mandatory fights. The first of the two defenses would be in February 2017 against Charles Hatley, ranked #2 by WBC. The second mandatory would be decided when the winner of #5 ranked Erickson Lubin vs. Jorge Cota ranked #8 on March 4 fight the winner of #3 ranked Martirosyan and another contender.[16] Lubin knocked Cota out in round 4 of their fight moving towards becoming the youngest world champion at the age of 21.[17]

Charlo's defence against Hatley was pushed back to April 22, 2017 on the Shawn Porter vs. Andre Berto undercard.[18] It was confirmed before the fight that Charlo would earn $100,000 and Hatley would recieve a $85,000 purse.[19] Charlo successfully defended his WBC title for the first time when he knocked Hatley out unconscious in round 6 after a right hook to the head. Before the end, Charlo was in control landing successive power shots. Hatley was also knocked down in round 3 following a combination of shots from Charlo.[20][21] In the aftermath of the fight, Charlo spoke about a potential unfication fight against Jarret Hurd, who won the vacant IBF title in February 2017, the title that previously belonged to Jermell's twin brother Jermall who moved up to middleweight.[22]
