Canelo Alvarez Will Be In Big First Fight Of 2022

Pound for pound boxing number one and Mexico’s ‘Numero Uno’ Saul Canelo Alvarez has made a move that will have shocked most.

Next up some were thinking he might take on dangerous David Benavidez or Charlo in his own weight class of 168 pounds.

Outstanding stuff.

Taking on the WBC champion in a weight class just below heavyweight.

For a fighter that was a middleweight not long ago that tells you all you need to know.

Fearless.
