Jermall Charlo's Australia Fight In Doubt Over Visa Delay
No Limit Boxing said Charlo’s visa was denied, ending his scheduled 10-round bout with Koen Mazoudier and leaving no replacement opponent announced.
- The Australian government denied a visa to former two-division champion Jermall Charlo, forcing cancellation of his July 25 super-middleweight bout against Koen Mazoudier at Sydney's Afterpay Arena.
- Australian authorities refused entry under Section 501 of the Migration Act, as Charlo's recent legal issues, including a guilty plea in a Texas DWI case, reportedly complicated his visa application.
- Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Charlo expressed frustration, writing, "Unfortunately, I will not be able to fight next Saturday." No Limit Boxing confirmed the cancellation without announcing a replacement opponent.
- The main event featuring Tim Tszyu and Errol Spence Jr. remains scheduled for July 26, while former two-weight world champion Stephen Fulton will face Liam Wilson on the same undercard.
- This denial adds another delay to Charlo's already inactive career, having fought only twice since June 2021, and he remains sidelined until Premier Boxing Champions secures a new return date.
