Australian boxing prodigy Tim Tszyu has been dealt a severe setback as his long-awaited clash with the formidable world champion Jermell Charlo has been officially canceled.
Charlo, renowned for his impeccable record of 35 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, has made an unexpected decision to jump weight divisions, opting to face another undisputed champion in the ring, the legendary Canelo Alvarez.
Tim Tszyu’s future is now uncertain after world champion Jermell Charlo went up a weight division to fight Canelo Alvarez instead
Alvarez, with an impressive track record of 59 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, along with a staggering 39 knockout victories, emerged as Charlo’s new adversary in this eleventh-hour alteration.
