LOS ANGELES – Kalakip nang paparating na laban ni Saul “Canelo” Alvarez ay ang kasaysayang kanyang maaring iuukit sa boxing lalo na para sa mga Meksikano.

Plano ni Canelo na maging kauna-unahang Mexican boxer na manalo ng apat na belt sa iba’t ibang debisyon.

“For me, my legacy is very important. History is the only thing that’s going to remain in boxing,” aniya sa isang panayam ng Los Angeles Times.

Bagama’t desidong isakatuparan ito, aminado ang three-division champion na si Sergey Kovalev ang kanyang pinakamahirap na laban.

“It’s one of the most motivating fights thus far in my career. Kovalev is very experienced and he’s the strongest fighter I will face. He’s had a good, long career. He’s going to use his height and range to try to beat me,” dagdag niya.

Puspusan ang paghahanda ni Canelo sapagkat kailangan din niyang umakyat ng timbang mula sa 168 pounds o middleweight patungong 175 pounds o light heavyweight.

“I’ve been eating how I normally do, of course staying healthy, but adding more rice, protein and carbohydrates. I’m entering this zone of comfort, but we’re ready for this.”

Unang beses lalaban si Canelo sa light heavyweight kung kaya’t hamon sa kanya ang pagpapanatili ng kanyang lakas at bilis sa mas mabigat na timbang.

Paglalabanan ng dalawa ang light heavyweight title na hawak ni Kovalev sa darating na ika-dalawa ng Nobyembre sa MGM Grand Arena.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
