Jermell Charlo received the Honorable Mention as Outstanding Fighter of the Month from the World Boxing Association (WBA) after becoming the undisputed super welterweight champion with his spectacular knockout against Brian Castaño last May 14.

The American stepped in the ring for his second fight against the Argentinean in Carson California. After having drawn in the first fight last July 2021, Charlo had promised to end this fight very convincingly.

The 32-year-old fighter knocked out Castaño in the tenth round after working very well in the ring, in one of the best fights of the year. 

He now owns all the 154-pound belts and remains one of the most outstanding pound-for-pound fighters today.
