The ferocious WBC jr-middleweight champion and knockout sensation Jermell Charlo has responded to the recent call-outs coming from the former IBF world welterweight champion Kell Brook.
Furthermore, Charlo sized up the challenge that Amir Khan will pose.
Kell Brook returned to winning this past weekend against his former sparring partner, Sergey Rabchenko. Brook dispatched of his opponent in two rounds and claimed the regional WBC Silver title at 154 lbs.

That victory has boosted Brook in the WBC rankings and moved him closer to securing a world title shot with the organisation for the title Jermall Charlo currently holds.
The past weekend’s performance was Brook’s first victory since overcoming Kevin Bizier in March 2016. Kell since suffered gruelling back-to-back defeats against Gennady Golovkin and Errol Spence Jr respectively.
Kell Brook and Eddie Hearn have both suggested that a matchup against the Houston native, Charlo could be a viable option.
Charlo took the opportunity to discuss both men today and began by explaining that he is unsure how a fight between the British pair would play out.
But he was quick to add when you factor in size and strength that they are easy fights for him.
Weak? Brook Fought Mfer’s With 100 Loses Coming up.. I Would Never.. look it upRT @doncarlos83: @TwinCharlo Don’t get the fuss on Charlo. His record is weak, 15 KO’s out of 30 fights against 95% nobodies. Nothing for @SpecialKBrook to fear there #chocolatebrownies#allofthelights

“I don’t know what will happen if they fight each other, but they’re both easy for me to beat.
Furthermore, Brook dismissed Khan and Brook in comparison to him as ‘little guys’.
“I fight like a lion, they, especially Brook, are little guys.”
I stand at 6ft tall, walk around 171-172lbs lean, make 154lbs very easy and I have no need to move up,” Charlo told Sky Sports.
“But if Kell’s name is always in the running, why isn’t Amir’s over here then?”
Charlo also stated that despite him putting forth his analysis of the matchup, they are both matchups he will still entertain if presented to him at the super-welterweight limit of 154 lbs.
Realistically Who Can I Fight? I Already Know Who I Should Be Fighting But.. !! Lmao I’m Tryna Please My Fans

He has been a good fighter, but I’ll have either of them at 154lbs.
Lastly, he said the idea of a clash with Amir Khan in Dubai is one that intrigues him.
“Maybe in Dubai too. Is Amir up for that?” Charlo stated.
