The primary of the three happened final September on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas when the 33-year-old comfortably beat Jermell Charlo who jumped two weight lessons, abandoning his 4 belts at super-welterweight, to problem the super-middleweight champion.
Canelo had been set to return on Might 4 in opposition to Jermell’s twin brother Jermall, however sources instructed ESPN {that a} deal couldn’t be reached for the bout on Cinco De Mayo permitting Canelo to look elsewhere.
Such was the general disappointment of Canelo vs. Jermell Charlo it might have been extraordinarily difficult within the present market to promote such a pay-per-view occasion between the primary fighter at 168lbs and Jermall Charlo. The WBC middleweight belt holder returned to the game in November to determination Jose Benavidez Jr over 10 rounds. That win ended a two-year absence for Charlo as a consequence of private points outdoors the ring however the efficiency itself left few believing he can be the perfect dance accomplice for Canelo within the close to future.
The door seems now open for Eddie Hearn and DAZN to work with Canelo as soon as once more having loved a fruitful working relationship up to now which noticed Canelo run by the super-middleweight division and grow to be the recognised champion.
Hearn at present promotes one other super-middleweight within the form of rising star Edgar Berlanga who knocked out Northern Eire’s Padraig McCrory on the weekend. Afterwards the unbeaten Brooklynite known as for a combat in opposition to Canelo regardless of a 22-fight profession that up to now lacks a win which might justifiably transfer him to the entrance of the queue.
One other identify within the working to face Canelo is Jaime Munguia. The all-action Tijuana super-middleweight has amassed an unbeaten 43-fight document and final month Munguia did what Canelo couldn’t by stopping Britain’s John Ryder within the ninth spherical of their combat. This, nevertheless, was a model of Ryder who that had gone 12 arduous rounds with Canelo final Might in Guadalajara. Munguia’s fights are at present broadcast dwell on DAZN as a part of a deal between the streaming service and his promoter Golden Boy Promotions which might make a possible deal simpler to barter ought to Canelo make a return to DAZN.
With PBC’s David Benavidez now transferring to light-heavyweight fairly than hanging round for an all-Mexican showdown in opposition to Canelo we might see the inexperienced Berlanga or the enhancing Munguia within the reverse nook to Canelo on Might 4.
