By Dan Ambrose: Jermall Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs) took advantage of the spotlight being on him last Saturday night by calling out IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) following his 2nd round knockout win over Hugo Centeno Jr. (26-2, 14 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Charlo-Centeno should be a fun fight for as long as it lasts on Saturday night. Some boxing fans believe Charlo is the future of the middleweight division. If so, he should be able to take care of Centeno Jr. without any problems.
By Jim Dower: After initially coming in heavy at 144.2 pounds, former four division world champion Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) stripped down his shorts to weigh-in successfully at 144 lbs. for his catch-weight fight at 144 lbs. against former 2-division world champion Jessie Vargas (28-2, 10 KOs) for their 12-round fight this Saturday night on Showtime Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

By Marcus Richardson: WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman says the winner of this Saturday’s fight between former IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) and Hugo Centeno Jr. (26-1, 14 KOs) will face WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin or whoever that wins that title.
By Dan Ambrose: Jermall Charlo doesn’t like that his fight against Hugo Centeno Jr. has been moved to the same card as former world champions Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on April 21 on Showtime Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
By Dan Ambrose: Former IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo says he’s ready to face Daniel Jacobs, and he wants to face him at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) says he heard Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) was trash talking him. He says he should face him. Charlo says Jacobs recently fought Luis Arias, but he didn’t fight him.
By Dan Ambrose: Former IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) and Hugo Centeno Jr. (26-1, 14 KOs) won’t be fighting on March 3rd as originally scheduled. Centeno Jr. has suffered a rib injury and he’ll be unable to face Charlo on the 3rd of March. Instead, the Charlo vs. Centeno Jr. fight will take place on April 21. The injury gives Centeno Jr. a little more time to try and figure out how he’s going to beat Charlo, who is the favorite to win the fight.
By Stanley White: Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) has a warning message to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) in letting him know that he’s coming for him, and that he’s getting older and slower. Jermall, 27, views Canelo as being older than him despite the two fighters being the same age at 27. However, Canelo has more ring mileage on him due to his long 13-year pro career and his grueling fight with Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin last September.
