Canelo Alvarez’s Awaited Tuesday Announcement Might Be About the End of His PBC Deal, IBHOF Elector Speaks Up

In the boxing world, whispers turn into roars overnight. Yet, what if the loudest shout comes from silence? Tuesday is circled on calendars, not for a fight, but for an announcement from Canelo Alvarez. Could a tweet hint at a career pivot? Rick Glaser, a boxing insider and International Boxing Hall of Fame elector, teased a seismic shift.

Not about whom Canelo will fight, but with whom he won’t. His ties with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) hang by a thread, rumors suggest. Financial struggles? A new opponent? Will he step out of PBC’s ring?

Is the PBC not big enough to keep Canelo Alvarez?

Amidst swirling speculation, Rick Glaser’s recent tweet cuts through the noise with precision, laying bare the crux of Canelo Alvarez’s anticipated announcement. “Canelo’s big announcement Tuesday will be in part that he has left #PBC, as I said he would in a previous post here that PBC did not have the money to establish a guarantee of Canelo’s purse to be put in escrow for a purposed May 4 fight, nor could PBC find a guarantor. Looks like Canelo will fight #JaimeMunguia, & not #JermallCharlo, as Charlo is PBC affiliated. Looking forward to Tuesday’s big Canelo announcement! #Boxing,” Glaser reveals.

Furthermore, the announcement’s timing is impeccable. Canelo’s choice to move away from PBC underscores a broader narrative of seeking control over his career trajectory. Importantly, Glaser’s mention of Jaime Munguia as the likely next opponent over Jermall Charlo introduces a tantalizing prospect for boxing fans, marking a shift towards what could be an epic all-Mexican showdown. But is Canelo in talks with Munguia?

Canelo’s path post-PBC

As Canelo Alvarez navigates the aftermath of his speculated departure from Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), the focus shifts toward a high-stakes, all-Mexican clash with Jaime Munguia. Munguia, fresh off a dominant victory, is eager for the challenge, stating, “I’m motivated for the next fight; it’s going to be better than this one, and it’s going to keep getting bigger. We want the best of the best in 168. It would be a great fight amongst Mexicans, and if Canelo gives us the chance, it would be an honor to share the ring with him.”

This potential bout not only signifies a significant shift in Canelo’s promotional strategy post-PBC but also highlights the promising future of boxing with such compelling matchups on the horizon.
