Canelo Alvarez, the maiden undisputed super middleweight champion, is one of the biggest Mexican success stories. As of now, the Mexican superstar is the focal point of boxing. Not one to rest at the top, the pound-for-pound king is hell-bent on conquering other weight divisions.

However, he has several opponents knocking on his door. Likewise, the big boxing promotions are also negotiating with Team Canelo. A boxing insider, Mike Coppinger, recently took to Twitter and gave an update amid heavy rumors circulating on the internet.

He wrote, “Sources: Canelo Alvarez and manager/trainer Eddy Reynoso are also planning a third fight with Matchroom that will take place in December. The three-fight plan with DAZN is worth up to $160 million.”

Everything related to Canelo is making headlines, but Canelo’s team hasn’t officially announced anything.

Prior to this announcement, there was a rumor that Canelo would lock horns against WBC middleweight champ Jermall Charlo. However, the Mexican star has turned down all such speculations.

For the uninitiated, after Canelo and Bivol fight, if Alvarez wins, he will have a trilogy with his arch-rival Gennady Golovkin. However, for this to happen, the IBF and IBO middleweight champion ‘GGG’ must outclass Japanese pugilist Ryota Murata.

So, the highly anticipated trilogy between GGG and Canelo is also potentially on the cards for 2022.
