Tszyu will be ringside to see ‘faster and stronger’ Charlo

AMERICAN Jermell Charlo and Argentina’s undefeated Brian Castano meet on Sunday at Los Angeles in a rematch to determine boxing’s first undisputed four-belt light middleweight world champion.

Charlo will defend the WBA, WBC and IBF 154pound crowns against WBO champion Castano in a rematch of their draw last July at San Antonio, where judges scored the fight 117-111 for Charlo, 114-113 for Castano and a 114-114 draw.

Australia’s Tim Tszyu will be ringside for the rematch, hoping to challenge the winner to a world title bout this year.

“I hate that I didn’t close out the first fight the way I should have. I’m going to be better, faster, stronger and more relentless in this fight,” Charlo said.

“I don’t know if this fight will be like the first one. It could be a quicker night. If not, it’s going to be entertaining for 12 rounds.”

The rematch had been scheduled for March but Castano suffered a torn biceps during training camp.

“I was training with one hand for quite a few weeks after the arm injury, but right now I really feel better and stronger than ever,” he said.
