Tony Harrison vs. Jermell Charlo 2 fight date, time, price, boxing odds & undercard

One of boxing's most controversial decisions in 2018 gets a sequel on Saturday, Dec. 21, as Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo meet once again for Harrison's WBC junior middleweight championship from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, Calif. 

Harrison (28-2, 21 KOs) and Charlo fought last December with the former winning by unanimous decision to claim the WBC crown, much to the dismay of the crowd at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and boxing fans worldwide who felt Charlo had done more than enough to retain. 

An immediate rematch was scheduled for June 23, but two weeks before the bout, Harrison pulled out due to torn ligaments in his right ankle. He's healthy now and determined to show that the judges got it right one year ago.

"The delay just made me even hungrier heading into this fight," Harrison said in a statement when the rematch was announced. "Watching Charlo the night we were supposed to go shine and rejuvenate himself, it built up so much hunger in me. I'm tired of the talk and the noise. I'm ready to go.
 
"We're looking to work smarter this time. I think everything I did before worked, but we want to make it even more decisive. The plan is to be more technically sound overall. You may see an early knockout. It's tense between both parties. I'm pretty sure he wants to knock me out as much as I want to knock him out. Whoever has the best plan will win. But I'm by far the better athlete. Athlete for athlete it's not even close. I'll beat him in everything, running, basketball, football. My style is perfect for his style. He's Shane Mosley to my Vernon Forrest. I'll beat him every time I face him.''

Charlo (32-1, 16 KOs), who felt Harrison faked the injury, remained on the card and knocked out late replacement Jorge Cota in the third round. The 29-year-old is hungry to get his belt back and end 2019 on a high note.

"I still feel strongly that I won that first fight, and I'm going to do things in a more dominant fashion this time," Charlo said. "I'm coming into this fight being the overpowering, strong, ferocious Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison is not on my level. It's my job on December 21 to prove that and to prove my worth. I'm coming in there mentally focused. When I fought Jorge Cota, that's a prelim of what's to be expected from me in the future.
 
"I want to look for the knockout and set it up. I don't want it to go to the judges. That's my worst nightmare. If it does go 12 rounds, he's going to be very injured at the end. The loss taught me how to be more patient and to take things step-by-step. I'm going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division. I personally feel I'm the best in the division. I'm an upgraded Jermell Charlo that you'll see on December 21."

The score will be settled to determine who is the better fighter. Can Harrison prove the first go-around wasn't a fluke?
