Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) has announced a high-profile match-up with Jermall Charlo taking on Jose Benavidez Jr. in a middleweight non-title contest scheduled for ten rounds. This fight will be part of the chief support on the David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade Showtime pay-per-view card on November 25th at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Charlo, who once seemed destined for stardom, will be looking to reclaim momentum after a period marked by injuries and inactivity. For Benavidez Jr., who showed grit against Terence Crawford in 2018, this represents a chance to secure the biggest win of his career and disrupt Charlo's path back to prominence.
The undercard promises to deliver action-packed bouts, including the IBF light welterweight title defense by Subriel Matias against the hard-hitting Shohjahon Ergashev, which could potentially overshadow the main events. Hector Luis Garcia will also defend his WBA super featherweight title, ensuring a night of competitive boxing.
Fans will be watching closely as Charlo steps in against Benavidez Jr., with many eager to assess Charlo's form after an underwhelming performance against Juan Macias Montiel. A loss for Charlo could derail his ambitions, including any remaining hopes for a blockbuster bout with Canelo Alvarez.
Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions, highlighted the importance of this card, stating, “Jermall Charlo will look to show why he’s the top middleweight in the world against the highly-motivated José Benavídez Jr.” With fighters set to prove their mettle and championship titles on the line, November 25th is poised to be a pivotal night for boxing.
