The P4P King Canelo Alvarez performed splendidly throughout the entire 2021, appearing thrice, and winning all three fights via stoppage. He completed his desired goal in the super middleweight category and became the division’s maiden undisputed champion.

The journey that began with beating Callum Smith in December 2020 for the WBA (Super), The Ring, and the vacant WBC super middleweight titles ended with the Mexican star’s dominant win over Caleb Plant for the IBF strap in November 2021.

In between. Alvarez defended his WBA-WBC belts against Avni Yildirim and stopped Billy Joe Saunders to claim the WBO belt. Having done so much at 168 lbs, the P4P star will now take a trip back to 175 lbs.

Who will Canelo Alvarez fight next?

Alvarez will face the undefeated Dmitry Bivol on his next appearance on May 7. On his last outing in the light heavyweight category, Alvarez had knocked out Sergey Kovalev for the WBO belt. Now, he will look to add Bivol’s WBA belt to his title collection.

19 (11 KOs)-0 as a professional, Bivol has been a terror in the light heavyweight division. He will enjoy a massive size advantage over Alvarez in the fight, which can turn the tides in any direction. On beating Bivol, Canelo Alvarez would validate himself for a trilogy against Gennady Golovkin, which levels up the importance of Bivol in the ongoing trend.
