Eddy Reynoso delivered significant news about Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and his boxing plans. He disclosed that Alvarez won't fight this May, but the focus is now on a possible September rematch against Terence Crawford.
Eddy Reynoso announced that Canelo Alvarez will avoid stepping into the ring in May, ending speculations about his next match. Canelo knows how important the dates around May 5 are for Mexican fans in Mexico and the US, often participating in fights during these celebrations since 2022. However, recovery from surgery on Canelo’s left elbow and his physical conditioning take precedence.
Reynoso explained to TV Azteca that Canelo used this time away from boxing constructively. He stated:
"Saul is resting, we have an operation on the left elbow, it went well. He has been working physically, he is doing his extra boxing promotion tours. Let's see what comes next year."
The memory of last September when Terence Crawford defeated Alvarez still lingers heavily in their camp. With both pride and determination fueling them, Canelo and his team eagerly await a chance at redemption later this year through a potential rematch with Crawford.
Reynoso added:
"That's what he wants, the rematch with Crawford. Let's see if it can be in September and that's the goal, to seek revenge to get rid of the thorn."
Alvarez maintains a steadfast focus on fighting again by September 16, another date close to Mexicans' hearts due to its cultural significance. As preparations continue, many fans anticipate seeing Canelo face off again with Crawford after last year's defeat added urgency to his comeback ambitions.
