“I am currently a super middleweight and I want to unify all the titles in that weight category. So far I am only interested in this. I don't even look at opportunities in other weight categories,” said the Mexican.

Alvarez, 30, will face Callum Smith (27-0, 19 KO) at an event in San Antonio this coming Saturday. The stake in their fight will be the WBA and WBC championship titles in 168.

“If I beat Smith, I will strive to fight other champions. Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant are the opponents I watch. At the moment I am not interested in anything else,” Canelo said.

For the Mexican Saturday's performance will mark his return to the ring after more than a year's hiatus. Alvarez spent his last fight in the light heavyweight division, defeating Sergey Kovalev.
