Canelo's fight in May may be canceled due to coronavirus

It seems that the global epidemic of coronavirus may soon dramatically change the entire boxing calendar. In this case, a fight of Saul Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs) and Billy Joe Saunders (29-0, 14 KOs) scheduled for May 2 may also be canceled. The duel was to be the main event of the evening in Las Vegas.

The decision on this matter will be taken in the coming days, but unofficial sources reported that the rapid spread of the coronavirus in the United States will force the organizers to cancel almost all sporting events in the near future. Canelo is likely to return to the ring in September.

Alvarez in the autumn might have the third fight against Gennady Golovkin (40-1-1, 35 KOs). The first bout of the fighters ended in a draw, and the Mexican won the rematch.

Alvarez' return in September may take place in Arlington at Cowboys Stadium, where his performance could be watched by 80 thousand spectators.
