Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be back inside the boxing ring on December 19 in an undetermined place to take Callum Smith for the WBA super-middleweight title.
It will be Canelo’s first fight since winning the light heavyweight belt against Sergye Kovalev last November 2019.
The fight will not be as big as his previous opponents, but Canelo agreed to take on the challenge.
It is after he parted ways with Golden Boy Promotions and broadcast DAZN where he filed a lawsuit. The parties then came into an agreement that resulted in the current number 1 pound-for-pound boxer\’s exit.
Canelo is not worried about the loss of his contract, the most significant fight contract in boxing history, but instead, he is focused on fighting before the end of 2020.
Indeed, he is a warrior, after all. Despite having the reputation, Canelo is not cherry-picking his opponent; on the contrary, he takes any match given to him.
Smith is a good boxer, but he is not that well known. It will be a boost to his career in fighting Canelo.
He is unbeaten in 27 matches, with 19 of it coming via way of knockouts. He is the WBA super-middleweight belt current owner, but he is the underdog against Alvarez\’s four-division world champion.
The Mexican has a record of 51 wins, one defeat, and two draws.
He was supposed to fight Billy Joe Saunders; however, the pandemic ruined the plan.
As Canelo makes his return, he is now spending his time in the gym to get back in condition. He was seen training would rising star Ryan Garcia.
His title as the pound-for-pound king will also be in line for the fight as a defeat against Smith could lower his ranking.
Terrence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr., and Naoya Inoue could take his place if he were defeated badly.
It is one of the things at stake if you are fighting against a not-so-big name in boxing.
It will be a shame to lose.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
