Champion to Suspect: Jermell Charlo Nabbed for Family Member Assault

BoxingSocial reports that WBC and WBA Super welterweight (69.8 lbs.) kingpin Jermell Charlo found himself in the hot seat last week.

Fort Bend County's slammer records show Charlo got nabbed last Saturday for allegedly throwing punches outside the ring. The nitty-gritty of the scuffles is still under wraps. The DailyMail got the scoop that Charlo alleged to have mixed it up with a family member, leaving some bruises.

He's since slipped out of the clink.

Back in September 2023, Jermell took a hit against Canelo Alvarez. He got stripped of his WBO hardware post-fight, which Tim Tszyu snagged. Fast forward two months and the pugilist ditched his IBF title defense, leaving the belt up for grabs.
