The twins Jermell and Jermall hail from Alief Hastings High School in Houston, Texas, with Jermell being the younger sibling by a mere minute. Their journey in the sport of boxing began as they followed in their father’s footsteps, who was a former boxer, and entered the gym. 

Jermell, after two years of honing his skills, rose to prominence in the amateur boxing realm, securing a bronze medal at the 2005 Junior Olympics at the tender age of fifteen. With a formidable record of 56 victories and 8 defeats, Jermell concluded his amateur career with distinction.

After his initial loss, Charlo activated a rematch clause, and on June 23, 2019, Jorge Cota was his opponent at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Nevada.
