Charlo is now only the seventh fighter in the modern era to grab all four belts at the same time. However, Jermell is the only fighter to do it in the Light-middleweight division. With such an elusive record under his belt, the 31-year-old will surely get more notoriety in the world of boxing. He may even get a shot at Canelo Alvarez if he keeps on winning.
