While Saul Alvarez recovers from left elbow surgery, boxing fans are keeping a close eye on who his next fight will be against.
After losing his undisputed super middleweight championship against Terence Crawford (42-0) in September, it is expected to be announced who will be the next opponent for the Guadalajara native.
Will Saul Alvarez fight in May?
Since 2022, Canelo Alvarez (63-3-2) has become accustomed to two fights a year and with very marked dates in May and September on days close to May 5 and September 16, important days of celebration for Mexicans in Mexico and the United States.
With that recent history, the Jalisco native is expected to announce his May fight soon, but the wait will have to be postponed because his trainer Eddy Reynoso has confirmed that the boxer will not return to the ring until September.
No, in May there will be no fight. In May we are going to rest and we are going to resume in September.
“Saul is resting, we have an operation on the left elbow, it went well. He has been working physically, he is doing his extra boxing promotion tours. Let’s see what comes next year,” Reynoso told TV Azteca.
Saul Alvarez wants Terence Crawford
Reynoso added that Saul Alvarez is focused on getting the rematch against Crawford for September, when it will be a year since his defeat against The Bud.
“That’s what he wants, the rematch with Crawford. Let’s see if it can be in September and that’s the goal, to seek revenge to get rid of the thorn.”
