Jermall Charlo (born May 19, 1990) is an American professional boxer who has held the IBF light middleweight title since 2015. His identical twin brother, Jermell Charlo, is also a professional boxer and is younger by one minute. Both brothers are graduates of Hastings High School. They began boxing when they started following their father, himself a former boxer, into the gym. In 2016, both brothers became world champions when Jermell won the WBC light middleweight title.
Jermall was fighting to get a spot in the 2008 Olympic team, but he was forced to back out due to a toe injury. Jermall kept fighting as an amateur for one more year and finished with an impressive record of 65-6.
On August 12, 2008 Charlo made his professional debut against Cimmaron Davis and won the fight via 2nd round technical knockout.
On July 11, 2009 Charlo faced Deon Nash, the opponent his brother Jermell went up against and beat in 2008. Jermall won a comfortable unanimous decision victory and later fought Nash to a rematch on August 28, 2010 and Charlo would end up winning again by a corner retirement.
On October 24, 2010 Charlo went up against Puerto Rican Carlos Garcia, the opponent his brother Jermell beat a year ago. The brothers have both beat Garcia by unanimous decision. Over the next five years, Charlo remained undefeated picking up wins over Orlando Lora, Antwone Smith and Norberto Gonzalez. By the close of 2014, Charlo had a record of 20 wins with 16 coming inside the distance and no losses.
On March 28, 2015 Charlo went up against a highly talented prospect, Michael Kenneth Finney. Charlo won the majority of the rounds on all 3 judges scorecards and won a unanimous decision victory. Charlo gave Finney his third loss in his professional boxing career.
Cornelius Bundrage was ordered by the IBF to make a mandatory title defense against Charlo. The bout was scheduled to take place on September 12. Charlo steamrolled Bundrage and captured the IBF light middleweight title with a dominating third-round KO. Bundrage was knocked down once in rounds 1 and 2 and twice in round 3.
