Originally, Castano battled it out against unified super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo in

Posted on 01/13/2022 By: Hans Themistode Time simply hasn’t been on the side of Keith Thurman.

Posted on 01/12/2022 By: Hans Themistode Gary Russell Jr. continues to show his frustration for his inability to land a marquee fight.
