Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s career is coming to an end, but he still has some fights left before hanging up his gloves. He has a four-fight contract with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, where the second will be on September 13 against Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.
David Benavidez is not the only one who wants to get into the ring against Canelo Alvarez, Jake Paul is also on the list and even closer to reaching an agreement, but it may be a pending issue for when the Mexican retires and has an exhibition with The Problem Child, who will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., at the Honda Center in Anaheim, on June 28.
The new suitor who emerged for Saul Alvarez is Jermall Charlo, who in an interview with Fight Hub TV to promote his fight against Thomas LaManna on May 31 in Las Vegas, said that now that he is in the super middleweight, he would like to challenge Canelo.
“My new division is 168. I happened to fall into his category. Now I’m part of his category. I’m happy to risk my unbeaten record and show the world why I’m one of the greats. I don’t want to dwell too much on the fight against Canelo, who has made a lot of money,” Jermall Charlo told Fight Hub TV.
Jermall Charlo yearns for the big bucks
Jermall Charlo was already on Canelo‘s radar in 2023, but it was Jermell Charlo, his twin brother, who faced the Mexican and lost easily. Now it is time to seek a family revenge and, in addition, to look for an attractive purse, although he is aware that first he will have to resolve the fight that Alvarez will have against Crawford.
“He still has to worry about Terence Crawford,” Charlo said, adding that he could negotiate to face Canelo for 2026, although he does not know what is next for the Mexican: “The truth is that I do not know, I will fight with one of them. With Munguia, who fought with Canelo, the truth is that I do not know what follows. (I want) the people we can make a lot of money with. Just get back in the ring and prove I’m the best in the world.”
