And there’s, you know, Canelo came out and said we’re still negotiating, there’s nothing inside and that was the case then, that’s still the case now.”

“Yes, we are in advanced talks with Canelo Alvarez. Yes, it would be huge for me personally, for Matchroom for DAZN to work with Canelo Alvarez again. I’ll do everything I can to try and secure that.”
