Representatives of the boxers met over the weekend to tentatively discuss financial terms. Further negotiations are expected within a few days, with Canelo hoping to secure a contract with another opponent next month.
A rematch with Dmitry Bivol is still a priority for Alvarez in the context of the September speech, but there is no agreement on this matter yet. Bivol would like the Mexican's super-middleweight belts to be on the line in the second fight, while Canelo demands the same conditions as in the first fight and a light heavyweight confrontation.
