For the past few months top middleweight boxers Jermell Charlo have been beefing with each other outside of the ring. Things escalated between the two last month backstage at the Wilder-Ortiz fight as they both had to be separated after nearly coming to blows.
Jacobs has made it clear that he would be interested in fighting Charlo if GGG or Canelo Alvarez are unwilling to give him a shot at the title.

On if he’s looking for a fight against Jermall Charlo if he can’t get rematch with Golovkin in September:
“100%. That’s the fight that I want because the fans consider him to be one of the best. You know, as fighters in the boxing world, we still know he still gotta lot to prove, we know he hasn’t really fought anyone worthy of him calling himself the best of division, or people are avoiding him — whatever his claim to fame is.
“I believe that I wanna do it for the fans sake because this is something that the fans truly want.
Tonight, after dispatching Maciej Sulecki in a hard fought bout, Jacobs called out Charlo by name.

And if Brooklyn wants Charlo, Charlo where are you at boy? Come see me. I’m the king of Brooklyn. You know what it is.”\
Charlo fights next month against Austin Trout but fans are already clamoring for a fight between he and Jacobs. We’ll see if those in charge make it happen.
