Coverage: FOX
Harrison upset Charlo via unanimous decision on December 22, 2018, to win the belt from him. Harrison hasn't fought since because he suffered an ankle injury that postponed their rematch. This second fight with Charlo was supposed to take place on June 23 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
"I'm gonna dominate that man," Harrison said during a recent episode of the "PBC Face To Face" series on FOX. "I'm gonna dominate that man."
This is what Charlo told FOX Sports' Brian Campbell when asked how his rematch against Harrison will be different:
"How the rematch gonna be different?" Charlo replied during an upcoming episode of "PBC Face To Face." "I'm gonna knock his ass out! How the rematch gonna be different? It's easy to explain that."
While Charlo lost the first fight, he is still more than a 2-1 favorite to beat Harrison in this rematch.
Once Harrison withdrew from their rematch, he knocked out his replacement Jorge Cota in the third round on June 23 in Las Vegas.
Things between Harrison and Charlo have gotten very personal. It started off as a healthy rivalry but it has become a war. Now is time for both fighters to settle their differences in the ring and if Charlo wins we could have a third fight.
