Canelo Might return in November against Saunders or Smith

By Carlos Costa

BoxingScene has reported that executives of top British streaming service DAZN and Oscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions are in negotiations for Canelo’s possible return in November.

It’s clear that DAZN and Golden Boy want the hugely popular Canelo (53-1-2, 36 KO’s) from Guadalajara, México, to battle one of these two unbeaten 30-year-old Briton world champions: WBO super middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders (29-0, 14 KO’s) of Hatfield, or WBA super middleweight world champion Callum Smith (27-0, 19 KO’s) of Liverpool.

In contrast, Mauricio Sulaimán and the WBC have ordered the superstar to fight some rather unknown Turkish boxer, a pick that boxing fans seem to reject.

Indeed, fans prefer to see the 30-year-old Canelo in the battle against a tougher, skilled world champion with a name. British world champions Saunders and Smith fit the bill.

Who of them will be the one to get in the ring to exchange blows with El Canelo?

Nevertheless, as fans can notice, nothing is yet confirmed. Plus, there is also a possibility that Canelo’s return might be not in November, but in December.

The return could be Los Angeles or Las Vegas
