Despite the fact that both boxers agreed to the financial terms presented to them, the trophy winner did not agree to the absurd demands of the Canelo team that the fight for the heavyweight title should take place at an intermediate weight limit of 180 pounds, that is, 9 kg below the established cruiserweight limit, and the contract additionally set a limit on weight gain on the day of the fight after the official weigh-in.
“Now I will not fight Canelo. This weight difference is too big. They wanted to dry the old man and fight for my catchweight belt, and they added a re-weigh clause. Let Canelo give the fans what they are waiting for and meet David Benavidez,” Jack told Badu.
It is possible that in the face of the failure of negotiations with Jack's team, Alvarez will defend four super middle division titles with Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) in his next speech.
