Overview
- Promoters confirmed on Friday that Jermall Charlo was denied entry to Australia and his scheduled co‑main bout with Koen Mazoudier has been canceled while the July 25 Errol Spence Jr. card in Sydney will go ahead.
- Errol Spence Jr. is already in Sydney and Stephen Fulton, who was briefly reported held up by visa problems, was later cleared and has landed to make his undercard fight.
- Charlo posted on Instagram saying he cannot fight and blamed the Australian government, and PBC/TGB sources and journalist Dan Rafael linked the visa refusal to the fighter’s past legal incidents and Australia’s character screening.
- No Limit Boxing and other promoters said the hold-ups began at LAX during processing, illustrating how fast administrative or character checks can force last‑minute changes to international fight cards.
- The case follows recent travel refusals for other combat athletes and highlights a growing operational risk for promoters and fighters, since visa denials can derail comeback plans, ticketed lineups, and broadcast schedules.
