“An announcement is going to come shortly. I’d rather not say who it is at this time, but we’re very close to finalizing a deal,” said Eric Gomez (of Golden Boy Promotions) revealed to Fino Boxing on Canelo Alvarez’s next opponent. “There are some final details that need to be worked out, but it’s going to surprise everybody.
“The opponent is secure, and it’s one of the top fighters in boxing,” Gomez said on Alvarez’s next fight. “It’s actually a very good fight and a very dangerous fight for Saul. It’s a very dangerous fight, but that’s who he wanted, and we’re hoping to announce it very soon. Anytime now,” said Gomez when asked ‘when the announcement for Canelo’s next fight will take place.’
So if we’re going to be “surprised” about Canelo’s opponent, is it safe to assume the Mexican won’t be facing the likes of Smith, Saunders, Murata and Golovkin?
Could he possibly be facing someone like Artur Beterbiev or Jermall Charlo? Now that would be a “surprise”.
