Talks on Alvarez-Ryder should start soon

In a few days, negotiations should begin on organizing a fight between the undisputed middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) and John Ryder (32-5, 18 KOs). The fight is tentatively scheduled for May 6 in London.

“Ryder is the official challenger for Canelo. I'm going to meet Eddie Reynoso this weekend and we'll start talking about it. This is a great opportunity for Alvarez to fight in the UK and get back in the ring after his hand surgery,” Hearn said.

Alvarez is currently a free agent. The Mexican has played his last two fights on the DAZN platform, but in the near future he will also negotiate with other potential television partners. However, the expansion of cooperation with Matchroom Boxing and DAZN guarantees Canelo the opportunity to rematch with Dmitry Bivol. The second fight of these boxers is scheduled for September.
