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 Jim Dower: Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz found himself being asked a lot of questions about his positive drug tests during Tuesday’s media conference call with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) to talk about their March 3rd fight on Showtime Championship Boxing.
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.

By Jeff Aranow: Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KO) says he could take out Hugo Centeno Jr. (26-1, 14 KOs) in round 1 in their fight on March 3 if he can’t take a shot. If Centeno Jr. can take a shot, then he’s going to be in a real war, says the 27-year-old Charlo. He plans on taking the fight to the 6’1 ½: Centeno Jr. and forcing him to brawl with him for as long as the contest lasts.
