JULIAN WILLIAMS on Thursday, May 9 and Friday, May 10.
Charlo looks forward to watching the matchup between two fighters he could face in the future: “I know Julian Williams is a skilled fighter who’s hungry. J-Rock is going to show what he can do. He shouldn’t be overlooked, especially by Jarrett Hurd. Hurd needs to take Julian seriously. May the best man win, and I plan on seeing the winner later in the year.”
