Jermell Charlo has been one of the most dominant boxers since 2019. At the age of 33, he has been recognized as one of the finest boxers, holding the light middleweight world championship belt since 2019.
Despite keeping his personal life private, there is nothing much hidden from the boxing community. Though he tried to keep everything private, even on social media, he was more into the promotion of fights or sponsorship. But recently, his wife’s name started to show up more in the news.
Who is Jermell Charlo’s wife?
Jermell Charlo has received support from his wife in many fights, apart from fan support. His wife, Chy Westbrook, has been the biggest supporter of Jermell, often caught on camera cheering her husband ringside. Chy is a personal assistant, as per her Instagram profile, although actual details of her work are not yet shared with the public. She has two kids from her past relationship and one with Charlo, according to sportsite. Now fans who believed her to be one of the biggest supporters of Jermell Charlo are now feeling betrayed.

Recently, Jermell Charlo got arrested for the assault on one of his family members, and one of the leaked audio clips got the attention of not just fans but also the legal authorities.

However, his wife asked for restraining orders from the court with that divorce filing. Earlier Jermell did the same kind of act when he choked his girlfriend in 2018. Later that year, he was released, as the jury didn’t find him guilty of any false acts.
In less than 3 months, this is the second setback for Jermell Charlo. On September 30th, he received the second defeat of his career at the hands of Canelo Alvarez, and now some weeks later, this arrest will be the biggest headline for the world champion.
What do you think has triggered Charlo’s wife to file a divorce on an immediate basis?
