Canelo Alvarez has expressed his interest in fighting the unified welterweight champion of the world, Errol Spence Jr. In a recent conversation, the four-division champion lauded Spence Jr. and stated that he would be interested in a potential fight with “The Truth” in the near future.
“Spence is a great fighter. The weight is very difficult, but we’ll see later. He is a great fighter,” said Alvarez.
Canelo Alvarez is scheduled to take on Callum Smith on December 19 in Texas in a bout to unify the WBA super-middleweight and The Ring middleweight championships. Alvarez holds the WBA (regular) super middleweight title that he won back in December 2018 by beating Rocky Fielding.

The weight difference between both the boxers could prove to be too much. Needless to say, it promises to be an exciting fight. Spence Jr. might have to jump three weight classes in order to fight Alvarez. Additionally, there is a potential problem of title mismatch since the jump would be more than a weight class. However, for a huge pay-day, there’s a reason to believe that the match-up could still take place.
