Here is what Charlo and his trainer Ronnie Shields had to say Thursday from Charlo Boxing and Fitness Club in Houston:

RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo's Trainer

"Jermall looks great in training camp and we expect him to be at his best come March 3. He's motivated to put on a good show and prove to everyone he's a force in this division.

"Hugo Centeno is a quality fighter. He's well-trained and has length, so Jermall knows he has to be prepared. Centeno isn't going to let him win, Jermall is going to have to go in and impose his will on the man.

"I believe Jermall has the talent and determination to beat any of the top middleweights out there. We're going to keep working every day so that when the time comes for one of those fights with a Golovkin or Canelo, he'll be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity."
