Canelo Alvarez has inked a multi-fight contract with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) after finishing up his responsibilities with Matchroom Boxing. Despite Canelo’s original desire to rematch with Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, it was decided that a rematch with Dmitry Bivol would not be possible owing to the logistical difficulties presented by both champions’ demands and schedules.

There was a lot of anticipation when Canelo Alvarez’s contract with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) was revealed because of upcoming fights against famous fighters like Jermall Charlo and David Benavidez. At first, it was thought that Canelo would face Jermall Charlo in his debut match under the PBC brand. The actual situation, however, is very different from what was initially reported and the fighter will be against Jermell Charlo.

Another user tweeted, “So Jermell Charlo will be jumping up two weight classes to fight Canelo as i highly doubt it’ll be in the middle of 160lbs or could they? Seen as GGG has vacated his belts as of recent and big charlo is surely due to get stripped by now due to inactivity. 🤔💭💁🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ #CaneloCharlo”
