Canelo’s four -fighter contract: Exploration of potential opponents ncvrs.com

The capabilities of Canelo Alvarez’s Fights 1 and 3 were revealed due to the new four-fighters contract between him and the Riyadh season. David Benavidez’s name is not one of the four fights.

There is a good name for the possibilities of fighting 1 and 3, Dmitri Bivol– He’s a good name, but it may be on the list if you lose its rebuilding this month, against the undisputed, heavyweight champion, Artur Betterbiev. Bivol is easily the best name.

It would be great for Berbiev to be added if they were a winner against Dmitry during their replay on February 22, but Canelo is unlikely to agree to fight with him.

Betterbiev is too many knockout threats, and Canelo never undertakes to face someone like him. Bivol is fine because you can put pressure on and retire.

There was a dual -class world champion Jermall Charlo One option for Canelo’s first struggle for four fights on May 4th. Jermall (33-0, 22) has only fought once in the last four years since 2021 and is currently inactive since 2023.

“You need to be determined

Fans who follow the sport four years ago remember Charlo and may be interested in choosing their first fight as Canelo’s opponent. At the same time, he was so inactive that he was no longer popular with fans. There would be no World Championship shot from a two -year layoff.

It would not be fair for Jermall to challenge the world champion for Leapfrog applicants waiting for a shot for Canelo. In fact, fans can confuse him with his brother Jermell Charlo, who was beaten by Canelo with a unanimous unanimous decision in 2023. Jermell was running around the ring throughout the fight, not even trying to win.

I look forward to Canelo in September and shake the world in the Riyadh season!
