Well now, folks, looks like Canelo Alvarez, the big shot in the world of boxing, ain’t sittin’ around doin’ nothin’ anytime soon. After his big win against Edgar Berlanga in September 2024, where he made it look like a walk in the park with a unanimous decision, he still holds on tight to his title as the undisputed super middleweight champion. Ain’t no easy feat, I tell ya. But what’s next for this feller? Well, that’s what we’re here to talk about!
First thing’s first, it seems like Canelo’s next move might be takin’ on another fighter in the same weight class, or he might even step up to light heavyweight. There’s talk about him possibly goin’ up to face someone from that weight class, like Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev, after they duke it out. Now, I don’t know about you, but I reckon Bivol might be on Canelo’s radar, given how long they’ve been goin’ back and forth with their rivalry.
But hold on a minute, I heard word from Eddie Hearn, that fancy promoter fellow, and he’s sayin’ Canelo might just get into the ring with Bivol for a rematch in 2025. Can you believe it? This fight could be real spicy, especially if Bivol manages to take down Beterbiev. That fight’s supposed to happen on October 12th over in Riyadh, so we might just see a rematch between these two in the near future.
Now, I know some folks been wonderin’, who’s gonna be Canelo’s next opponent. And I’ll tell ya, there’s been a lotta talk about fighters like Christian Mbilli, Diego Pacheco, and even that Beterbiev fella, who’s been makin’ waves in the light heavyweight division. Mbilli in particular has been climbin’ up the ranks, and I reckon it’s only a matter of time before he gets his shot at Canelo. The man’s undefeated and lookin’ mighty dangerous, if you ask me.
But now, let’s talk about Edgar Berlanga, the man who Canelo just beat to keep his belt. Some folks thought Berlanga might just be the one to take down Canelo, but it wasn’t to be. Canelo showed why he’s the best of the best, takin’ Berlanga to school. Still, Berlanga’s got a lot of potential, and he’s likely to come back stronger, so I wouldn’t count him out just yet.
Now, Canelo’s fight history speaks for itself. This feller’s been around for years and made a name for himself as one of the biggest stars in boxing. From fighting the likes of Gennady Golovkin to his big win over Caleb Plant, Canelo’s been takin’ on all comers and keepin’ his belts nice and shiny. But every champion’s got their day, and there’s always someone new comin’ up in the ranks. That’s why Canelo’s gotta keep his eyes peeled for the next big challenge.
So, what’s it gonna be? Is Canelo gonna stick around in the super middleweight division for a bit longer, or is he gonna move up to light heavyweight and see what them big boys are all about? One thing’s for sure, Canelo ain’t gonna be backin’ down from a fight anytime soon. Whether it’s against Bivol, Beterbiev, or a fresh face like Mbilli, you can bet folks are gonna be watchin’. And I reckon it’ll be one heck of a show, no matter who he steps in the ring with next.
In the meantime, us fans will just have to sit tight and wait for the announcement of Canelo’s next fight. There’s plenty of good fighters out there, and any one of ’em could end up takin’ their shot at the champ. But Canelo? Well, he’s been at the top for a reason, and it’s gonna take a mighty good fighter to knock him off that throne.
