Everything indicates that Canelo Alvarez will face Terence Crawford in September, according to reports from specialized media, although no official source has expressed itself on the matter.
Before that, the Guadalajara fighter would fight in May, but for that date, none of the opponents among the options that have transpired have yet to gain strength.
Canelo Alvarez could face Jake Paul
The names that have been mentioned for Saul Alvarez‘s first fight of the year are William Scull, who even went so far as to say that negotiations would begin on January 10, and Christian Mbili, although the Frenchman with less force.
But as early as Saturday, during the broadcast of the fight between David Benavidez and David Morrell on ESPN for Mexico and Central America, the possibility was mentioned that he could surprise with Jake Paul and now it seems to be a more firm possibility, according to Julius Julianis.
Without confirmation of the hypothetical Canelo Alvarez vs Jake Paul fight, just on Saturday Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN commented that the Mexican could take home about $100 million.
After that fight, there was speculation about the possibility of reconsidering David Benavidez (30-0), as the Mexican’s trainer Eddy Reynoso was present, but now the information is going in the opposite direction with the opportunity to face Paul, who defeated Mike Tyson in November.
