Mexican boxer Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez brings up the idea of doing three fights a year and one of the possibilities is to travel to Japan, but if they don’t meet the price then he will extend his vacation.
Álvarez defeated Édgar Berlanga two weeks ago in Las Vegas and said that he had no defined plan for his next step, neither rivals nor venues.
One of the doors that opened was to fight in Japan, something that remains to be seen, since a source revealed to CANCHA that they would not be fulfilling their claims. “There is an amount on the table, but it seems that it is not enough,” the source said.
The current Super Middleweight monarch of the WBC, WBA and WBO would have pocketed between 90 and 100 million dollars in his last two fights, in 2024, against Jaime Munguía and Berlanga, already counting the guaranteed salaries, television rights and extras for the Payment Per Event (PPE).
They reveal that the offer for Japan would be around 20-25 million greenbacks, and there are other more juicy ones, such as those from Saudi Arabia, but “Canelo” did not like the ways of doing business of “Sheikh” Turki Al-Sheikh . On October 13 there will be a world title fight for the vacant Mosca title at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, between local Kenshiro Teraji and Nicaraguan Cristofer Rosales, and it is known that Eddy Reynoso, who trains Álvarez, will be with the Central American boxer and one of the guests to accompany them on the trip is the redhead. The source pointed out that if “Canelo” makes the trip next week, it would help him talk to promoters and see if he would really like to get into the ring in the country of the rising sun, either for an official fight or just to do an exhibition. Let him leave you a good amount of dollars. Saúl has only been able to fight three fights in the same year on one occasion in the last 13 years. In 2021 he defeated Avi Yildirim in Miami, Billy Joe Saunders in Arlington, and closed the year by beating Caleb Plant in November.
