The Matchroom Sport supremo Eddie Hearn has a piece of enticing news for Billy Joe Saunders’ fans. He is in potential talks to align his undefeated boxer with the pound for pound king of boxing, Saul Alvarez.

Since Canelo has made his plans to stick to super-middleweight, this fight seems inevitable. As per Michael Benson, Eddie Hearn has confirmed being in talks with Canelo’s trainer and manager, Eddy Reynoso.

Hearn is eyeing a 2-fight deal between Saunders and Alvarez. This will be an action-packed battle between the undefeated super-middleweight stalwart and the recently crowned super-middleweight champion.

Before that, Canelo is keen on booking Avni Yildirim for his next fight. Saul will have to defend his WBC super-middleweight belt mandatorily against Yildirim. The duo might clash as early as February 2021.

Since Saunders’ last win over Martin Murray on December 12th, Hearn and Saunders are extremely keen on booking Canelo Alvarez as the next big fight. Canelo recently dashed Callum Smith to make a statement at the 168-pound division.

Saunders is ecstatic to challenge him in this highly stacked division by early 2021.
