Injury Forces Jermall Charlo to Withdraw Just Weeks Before Boxing Return

Former two-division champion Jermall Charlo has withdrawn from his scheduled October 17 comeback fight against Koen Mazoudier after sustaining a training camp injury. The precise details of the injury have not been publicly disclosed. To salvage the matchup, former WBA super-middleweight champion Jose Armando Resendiz has agreed to step in on 10 days' notice to fight Mazoudier in a 10-round bout.

This withdrawal marks the second consecutive cancellation between Charlo and Mazoudier, following visa issues that prevented their July 2026 fight in Sydney. Despite Charlo's absence, the October 17 event remains headlined by Sebastian Fundora defending his WBC super welterweight title against Ermal Hadribeaj, alongside Brandon Figueroa's featherweight title defense against Tomoki Kameda.
