Iglesias and Saggio will contest the right to face Canelo

Andrew Karlov April 3, 2025, 3:44 a.m.

Osleys Iglesias (13-0, 12 KO) and Kevin Lele Saggio (24-0, 21 KO) are scheduled to have a qualifying fight for the IBF super middleweight title. The championship belt in this weight class belongs to Saul Alvarez.

The Cuban's camp has expressed willingness to hold an IBF qualifying fight, while Saggio's promoters have yet to comment on the offer. Saggio was previously scheduled to have an IBF qualifying fight against Cristian Mbilli, but the fight was ultimately scrapped.

Iglesias had four fights last year and last boxed in November. Saggio last stepped into the ring in December and stepped into the ring three times last year.
