Jermall Charlo has been denied entry into Australia.\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n
However, the Australian government has denied his entry into the country and the fight has now been cancelled.<\/p>\n
A reason for Charlo\u2019s visa denial was not provided.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, I will not be able to fight next Saturday,\u201d Charlo said in a statement on his Instagram page. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been training nonstop for the last three months and was ready to make a statement. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want to apologise to all my fans and let them know I will keep training and be back on a PBC event very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlo, 36, has only entered the ring four times since 2020 and his last fight, a TKO win over Thomas LaManna in May 2025, ended an 18-month absence. <\/p>\n
He told ESPN that he wanted to take to the ring in 2025 but was sidelined.<\/p>\n
He was pulled from his bout against then-WBA super middleweight champion Armando Resendiz in May for undisclosed reasons. He was replaced by Jamie Munguia.<\/p>\n
Over the last few years Charlo has dealt with some legal issues.<\/p>\n
In June, he was sentenced to three days in jail with time served after he pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated over a car accident in Texas in 2024.<\/p>\n

In 2021, he was arrested on a felony robbery charge, with allegations he took cash from a waitress and threatened physical harm following a dispute over the bill when his debit card declined.<\/p>\n
His legal team denied the claims, stating it was simply a banking error and that Charlo had arranged to settle the debt the following day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Promoters No Limit are scrambling to find a replacement, after American former champion Jermall Charlo\u2019s visa to enter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[247],"class_list":["post-53004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sydney","tag-sydney"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
