Charlo had been contemplating the move for some time, mainly due to weight making struggles at the current division. Jermall made two quick defences following his title victory, realising his time as champion could be limited by his weight issues... If there was a huge fight of note at 154, it could have attracted Charlo to stick around a while, but it looks like 160 serves more lucrative opportunities, without the struggles of weight making..
Charlo’s trainer, Ronnie Shields, is in favor of the move to 160, confirming that it was a necessity, considering it pointless his fighter struggling to hold himself down to make weight, when he's easily capable of making the same impact on the division just 6 pounds higher..
“There's nothing special Jermall will have to do to make 160, because it's literally what he naturally is, a middleweight."
Charlo has been going through what he refers to as 'a mini training camp' shaking out and loosely going through his drills..
There is no rush for the move, Charlo is looking roughly at May for his middleweight debut, with intentions on making his mark as a two weight champion..
