Undefeated boxer Jermall Charlo is making sure Saul "Canelo" Alvarez knows he wants to challenge him for his next fight.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs) called out the lineal middleweight champion when asked if he would prefer to fight Canelo or Gennady Golovkin.

"Canelo seems to be the better fighter right? He won the fight right? He beat him right? So I wanna fight the 28-year-old so-called stud," Charlo said.
