Jermall Charlo\u2019s scheduled return on next Saturday\u2019s Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu undercard is unsure after a reported visa delay left PBC and TGB officials uncertain he’ll arrive in Australia in time for the event.<\/p>\n

Boxing insider Dan Rafael says PBC and TGB officials don’t consider Charlo will receive the vital visa before fight week. The previous two-division world champion had been expected to travel to Australia earlier this week but has reportedly been delayed due to past legal issues.<\/p>\n

Per source, PBC\/TGB officials don’t consider Jermall Charlo shall be granted a visa to travel to Australia in time for his scheduled fight next Saturday on the #SpenceTszyu<\/a> undercard. Charlo was to have traveled earlier this week but due to past legal issues his visa has been\u2026<\/p>\n

Charlo (34-0, 23 KOs), was scheduled to face Koen Mazoudier in a 10-round bout at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The fight was set to be his first appearance since stopping Thomas LaManna in six rounds on May 31, 2025, after nearly 18 months out of the ring.<\/p>\n

With lower than per week remaining before the cardboard, the uncertainty leaves promoters with limited time to resolve the situation. If Charlo is unable to secure his visa, organizers would likely need to seek out a substitute opponent for Mazoudier or remove the bout from the cardboard altogether.<\/p>\n

The July 26 event is headlined by Tim Tszyu and Errol Spence Jr. in a 12-round middleweight bout, with the undercard featuring several Australia vs. United States matchups. Jermall\u2019s return had been certainly one of the featured attractions outside the important event, making his availability a crucial a part of the promotion heading into fight week.<\/p>\n

Neither PBC nor TGB had announced a change to the fight on the time of Rafael\u2019s report.<\/p>\n
