“Alvarez just fought Charlo, so he has eighteen months before he has to make a mandatory defense, but any negotiations are welcome. I would like to see Munguia fight Canelo because it is one of the best fights you can have,” said 73-year-old WBO President Francisco Valcarcel.
Eric Gomez, president of Golden Boy Promotions, which handles Munguia’s career, responded to Valcarcel’s words: “The first negotiations are already behind us, and we hope that we will soon come to an agreement. In any case, we would like to fight Canelo,” Gomez said.
