Sulaiman: "Beterbiev will be a big threat for Canelo"

Andrew Karlov Nov. 8, 2021, 7:04 a.m.

World Boxing Council president Mauricio Sulaiman commented on rumors of a possible bout between undisputed super middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) and WBC and IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (16-0, 16 KOs).

"Beterbiev has a mandatory defense [with Marcus Brown] in December, and then he can fight whoever he wants. It would be a great fight," Suleiman said about the clash of the Russian with Canelo.

"Beterbiev is undefeated and hits very hard! He will be a big threat to Canelo. Canelo, however, wants to go forward, so we'll see," the WBC president added.
