American boxer Jermall Charlo challenged Gennadiy Golovkin after beating Juan Macias Montiel on a Juneteenth fight festival in Houston, Texas.

On paper, Juan Macias Montiel was regarded to be an inferior fighter to Charlo but on the night proved to be a tenacious operator, throwing power punch after power punch, and landing 127 of his 427 shots after 12 rounds according to Compubox data sent to Insider.

Charlo, meanwhile, threw more, landed more (258), and was made to fight in a more active fashion than he ever had done before as the 769 shots he dispatched were the most he's thrown in his career to date.

The WBC middleweight world champion retained his title with a wide, unanimous decision win over Montiel, and told Insider ahead of the fight that he had been working on his defense, how to place his punches in a more efficient manner, and overcoming his height and range to deliver greater body shots.

Against Montiel, he landed 41 punches to the body.

He also told us ahead of the bout that he wants to be more active in 2021, and mentioned Golovkin as a potential opponent to target.

Charlo reiterated that Saturday. "I want to unify. I want to get Golovkin in the ring. I want to bring him to Houston," the 31-year-old said after the result, according to Boxing News.

He continued: "I want to get Canelo to come to Houston if he'll come down to 160-pounds. This is my weight division. I'm going to stay here and reign here.

"This is my fourth title defense and I have many more to come. I'm young. I'm hungry."

An unbeaten two-weight champion, Charlo advanced his pro boxing record to 32 wins (22 knockouts) with the win.
