Eddie Hearn, a famous British promoter, revealed that Canelo Alvarez will have three fights in the future, among which the third fight with Gennady Golovkin is progressing steadily.
There are many star boxers in today's professional boxing world, but there seems to be only one superstar, and that is Alvarez. Alvarez has won widespread recognition within and outside the industry with his strong strength and outstanding market value. Now he is 31 years old, and in the eyes of many people, he is just "just starting out."
However, last month’s loss to Dmitry Bivol triggered a series of discussions about Alvarez’s future, but what is certain is that Alvarez will continue to compete on the court. Promoter Hearn has been consistent with Alvarez regarding who he will fight in the next few fights, and Hearn responded in an interview with DAZN.
Hearn said: "From a time perspective, the next three battles will be against Gennady Golovkin, Dmitry Bivol (rematch), and David Benavidez, among which The third fight with Golovkin has been confirmed, and boxing fans will officially see it in less than two months. "
Hearn revealed that Benavidez is expected to be one of Alvarez's opponents in the next three games. This has aroused widespread interest from the outside world. Benavidez is now the WBC transitional super middleweight champion. In theory, he has the qualifications to challenge Alvarez. He has an outstanding physique and amazing attack power. He can be called the strongest challenger at 168 pounds. If he really competes with Avarez, The battle between Rez is bound to be exciting.
Of course, Benavidez is only one of Alvarez's potential opponents. Hearn naturally has an alternative. He said: "If Benavidez cannot challenge Alvarez for various reasons, we will Will try to fight against Jimar Charlo, Charlo will be an effective substitute for Benavidez. "
What is certain is that if Alvarez defeats Golovkin in a three-match series in September. , according to the scheduled plan, he will have a rematch with Bivol in May next year, so these two confrontations are almost certain.
Hearn said: "When talking about a rematch with Bivol, Alvarez likes to move up to 175 pounds light heavyweight in order to challenge some people's minds that maybe Alvarez shouldn't be Like this, but you have to respect him. Alvarez wants to create obstacles for himself, which will stimulate greater potential. Alvarez will return to 168 pounds, which may be a fight with Charlo or Benavidez. It will be a free title defense, or it may be a legal title defense. "
It is obviously too early to talk about Alvarez's future games, especially after the second battle with Bivol. It should not be a big problem for Alvarez to settle Golovkin in September, but whether he can avenge Bivol is unknown. If he loses to his opponent again, the impact on his career will still be obvious. Fortunately, the fight with Bivol will be at 175 lb. light heavyweight, even if he loses, Alvarez will still have the 168-pound super middleweight gold belt . In this case, he may choose one between Charlo and Benavidez, and consider As a matter of time, the WBC will not rule out requiring Alvarez to face Benavidez. It is still unknown whether Alvarez can defeat Benavidez. If he really loses to Bivol again, it will be extremely difficult to defeat Benavidez when his psychology is seriously affected. .
