On the 6th of May, Canelo Alvarez squared off against John Ryder in his hometown and defended his undisputed super middleweight status. Reportedly, 14 million Mexican fans watched the fight and rooted for Alvarez, who just wanted “to make history“. Ahead of the bout, Alvarez even declared that he would retire if Ryder beat him in the ring. In his opinion, he was at his best and eventually defeated Ryder via a unanimous decision.

However, before fighting Ryder, Alvarez reiterated his desire to face Dmitry Bivol in a rematch. He wanted to fight the Russian boxer at 175 lbs and demanded the “same terms, the same everything as the last fight“. However, given Alvarez’s performance against Ryder, Errol Spence Jr. warned Canelo and advised the same to maintain distance from Dmitry Bivol and Beterbiev. In this connection, while fans wondered about Alvarez’s next potential bout, the Mexican boxer shocked Instagram by posing with his wax figure that looked like his twin.
