The super welterweight championship unification bout and rematch between WBC, WBA and IBF titlist Jermell Charlo and WBO crownholder Brian Castano has finalized a home. 

A 154-pound undisputed champion should be crowned – barring another draw just like their 2021 fight of the year contender – on March 19 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. 

As BoxingScene.com previously reported, the Premier Boxing Champions event will not be a pay-per-view event, but instead, a “Showtime Championship Boxing” series card on the premium cable network.

Although an official announcement has not yet been made, AXS.com has published ticket information around the event, directing fans to a sale starting Friday at 10 a.m. PST. A presale started Wednesday.

WBO super welterweight mandatory challenger Tim Tszyu (20-0, 15 KO) could fight Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KO) on the undercard, according to an ESPN report.

Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs) and Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs) battled to a split draw on July 17 at AT&T Center in San Antonio. 

Castano connected with 173 punches while Charlo landed 151. Castano had a sizable edge in power shots, landing 164 compared to Charlo's 98. Judge Nelson Vazquez scored it 117-111 for Charlo, while Steve Weisfeld had it 114-113 for Castano. Tim Cheatham had it a draw at 114-114.

Should a winner emerge next month, the victor will be just the third active undisputed champion in the sport, joining super middleweight crownholder Canelo Alvarez and junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor. 

With Vergil Ortiz headlining a Golden Boy card at USC's Galen Center against Michael McKinson on the same night, Tinseltown will have two shows being staged just minutes away from each other. 

Charlo versus Castano II will mark the first boxing card to take place at Crypto.com Arena, the venue formerly known as Staples Center.
