His past three bouts were offered on pay-per-view, but that wasn't a major revenue driver since they were available for substantially less money as part of a monthly subscription to DAZN. We’ve been looking for a major fight for Matchroom to stage for a long time in the U.S, and I can’t lie; it was more difficult than I thought it would be. Promoter Eddie Hearn recently revealed he is confident that he can set up an undisputed clash with IBF super-middleweight champion Plant in New York this September after the Mexican signed a non-exclusive deal with Matchroom Boxing. Note: In the main event, time streaming can freeze or buffer so. Charlo wasted no time in calling out Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin after he survived a late scare to defeat his mandatory Montiel at the Toyota Center in Houston. The 31-year-old Charlo, who grew up in Alief and lives in the Houston area, has been calling out Canelo for a long time. Fighting at 175 pounds always seemed a stretch for Alvarez, who beat Sergey Kovalev in his only other bout at light heavy. Mexican pro Canelo was favourite, having rampaged his way through the 168lb band, beating Rocky Fielding, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim and Billy Jo Saunders, who succumbed to an 8th round TKO in May.
The Yildirim fight was a mandatory defence for Canelo after he won the WBA and WBC super-middleweight titles by beating Callum Smith in December. Come for a presentation and open discussion covering companion event titles, performance event titles and family dog titles. The reason he took the bout was so that he could hang onto his title and pursue his goal of becoming undisputed champion with all four titles. On Saturday night, Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders will throw down in Arlington, Texas with three of the four recognized super middleweight world championships on the line. Canelo Alvarez will face Caleb Planton November 6 to unify the four super middleweight world championships. In the match, Alvarez will defend his WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles, while Plant will put his IBF super-middleweight title on the line. Reynoso made headlines of his own barely two weeks after Alvarez-Plant, making the bold request for Alvarez-who has fought just once above the super middleweight limit-to next challenge the winner of the January 29 clash between WBC cruiserweight champ Ilunga ‘Junior’ Makabu and Thabiso Mchunu. He is making his move in a big way.
Although some may scoff at the inclusion of Jake Paul on the list, it can’t be denied that he’s making all the right noises. Round two: More potshots from Plant, adding right hands to the mix. ROUND 7: Adjustments are the key to victory for any great champion. Here are the official scorecards. “I think it’s going to happen for real,” one official close to the talks told The Athletic on Tuesday. No reason to think this wouldn't. Not a ton of power on them but he's mixing up movements to make Canelo move his feet. What I mean by that is that sometimes you gotta go to that power and smother it. The IBF and WBC light heavyweight champion has 36 years of experience, 16 wins from 16 fights - all via KO - and is widely regarded as the very best at 175. If Canelo regards a sustained challenge at the weight to be a real test, then he might wish to have a couple of liveners with other challengers and champions before he steps up to meet the Russian.
“160 is my weight division. Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez admits he is open to the prospect of facing Jermall Charlo in the boxing ring but for now he is focused on unifying the super-middleweight division with Caleb Plant. The bout with Plant will be Alvarez's fourth in nine months. That Cinco De Mayo weekend victory was in the midst of extraordinary in-ring activity for a boxer of Alvarez's stature. His two dates have traditionally been Cinco De Mayo weekend and Mexican Independence Day weekend in September. The two fighters embrace in the center of the ring. Superstar fighters routinely fight just twice a year, and that used to be the case for Alvarez. In the world only a few fighters have done it, the best. I’ve won everything from Southern Area to World titles, I could say ‘I’ve won it all, been to the Olympics, I’m unbeaten - I’ll see you later’. “We want to unify the division, he’s a world champion, we want to go for it and we need to go for it,” said Canelo. We need to go for him.
