Canelo & Charlo’s NYC Kick-Off Press Conference
Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo had their first pre-fight presser at the Palladium Times Square, New York City, ahead of their bout on September 30th, 2023.
The presser will be the first of two as both boxers prepare themselves for a mega fight.
Canelo will defend his undisputed super-middleweight titles for the third time as part of his three-fight PBC deal.

Meanwhile, Charlo jumps up two weight classes from junior middleweight in an attempt to shock the world and become undisputed in a second weight class.
And with both fighters sizing each other up for the first time, it is fair to say that they were ready for their upcoming fight.
