Canelo Alvarez turns down $100 million deal

As per the reports, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez turned down a $100 million deal with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). It was a two-fight deal to fight Jermall Charlo and Errol Spence Jr or David Benavidez, respectively.  

The pound-for-pound king had other plans for himself; he signed a $160 million three-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing.

Dmitry Bivol, a Russian boxer, was the first opponent. Bivol won the fight by decision, which was one of the biggest upsets for Alvarez aficionados. Moreover, his next bout was intended to be a trilogy with Gennady Golovkin, but with Alvarez’s latest loss, the trilogy’s chances may be jeopardized.

Errol Spence Jr’s upcoming fight

Errol Spence Jr, a native of Long Island, New York, has had a successful career thus far. With an incredible 28-0-0 record, the 32-year-old is in the prime of his career. However, he expects to face a tough opponent in his next encounter, which could put an end to his perfect streak.

The buzz of a fight between Spence and Terence Crawford has begun to fill the air. Boxing fans have been yearning for this bout for years, but it has never transpired.

Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) is a tough contender, and it would be a brutal battle to see him fight with Spence.
