Charlo added, “I’m going to get the revenge. I’m not enjoying this…no more. The money ain’t the issue. I got a birthday coming in a couple of days. I did enough. [And] I made history.”
“Dealing with all kinds of cases of [being] bipolar, being by yourself, thinking that you shutting the world out is gonna help you. But you need to be able to speak to someone and help you get past whatever you’re going through. It just feels like everybody is against you. I don’t care if you’re in the Uber, a cab, wherever, everybody is just against you.”
In a candid admission, Charlo opens up about his struggles with bipolar disorder and the isolation that often accompanies mental illness. He speaks of the profound sense of alienation and paranoia that consumed him, driving him to retreat from the world and face his battles alone.
The boxer added, “I couldn’t tell that some people weren’t against me, it was just that at the moment it’s the way you’re feeling and I turned my back against pretty much the world. I just had to start getting help with it and it made me a lot better.”
But amidst the darkness, Charlo finds a glimmer of hope and resilience. With the support of his inner circle and the understanding of the boxing community, he begins to confront his demons head-on, seeking help and guidance to navigate the turbulent waters of his mind.
As he grapples with his personal demons, Charlo also sets his sights on a professional milestone: a long-awaited rematch with Canelo Alvarez. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge, he vows to avenge his brother’s loss and reclaim his rightful place among the boxing elite.
For Charlo, the fight against Canelo is about more than just redemption; it’s about proving his resilience in the face of adversity and reclaiming his place in the annals of boxing history. With his sights set on September, he prepares to step into the ring once more, ready to confront his past and forge a path to glory.
