Against his charge?
Hi! everyone.
Could someone tell me what this phrase means in the para below?
The race to face Mayweather Jnr in his retirement fight began in earnest only minutes after his unanimous points victory over Pacquiao. But while promoter Eddie Hearn, also in Las Vegas, might be pressing Mayweather’s team to unify the welterweight belts against his charge, Brook, he is realistic enough to admit that the Mayweather-Pacquiao return is still the sport’s biggest superfight.
Thanks!
