The feud between Jermell and Jermall Charlo
The Charlo brothers are known for their competitive nature. Jarmall Charlo showed his love for brother Jermell by stepping aside so that he could get a huge payday against Canelo. However, things turned sour for them a while ago when Jermall Charlo started referring to himself as ‘Big Charlo’.
This sparked a back-and-forth social media battle between the siblings and gave the impression that they had a strained relationship. However, Jermall has taken a solid step towards changing that narrative by attending Jermell Charlo’s fight.
