Charlo and Castano are set to meet each other inside the ring to claim the undisputed junior middleweight titles on Saturday, July 17, 2021, at AT&T Center in San Antonio, USA.
The Iron Man collides with the El Boxi in a 12-round super welterweight bout for IBF, WBA, WBC, and Castano’s WBO title match. Jermell Charlo, the unified 154-pound world champion, and his opponent Brian Carlos Castaño, the undefeated WBO World Champion, can be seen in high spirits before the match and look all prepared for one of the most anticipated matches of 2021.
Brian Carlos Castano, 5′ 7½″, might look smaller in front of 5’11” Jermell Charlo under many physical attributes. Even though both champions are orthodox hitters, the physical abilities of the ‘Iron Man’ give him an edge. Also, Jermell Charlo has 13 years of professional boxing experience and has already faced many A-listers.
On the other hand, his opponent Brian Carlos Castano has only eight years of professional boxing experience and has fought against only one top-tier opponent, Erislandy Lara, in 2019. The upcoming Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Carlos Castano match will be the next big move for his career. While it’s hard to predict who will win, Castano still has his chances of winning. But he truly has to fight hard against the Texas star, Jermell Charlo.
