Next fight of Saul Alvarez is not determined yet.
Famous British promoter Eddie Hearn said that absolute world champion in the second middleweight division Saul Alvarez (61-2-2-2, 39 KOs) is not burning with the desire to hold a fight against former two-division champion Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs).
"When I met with Saul, he wasn't excited about fighting Crawford. He understood that a welterweight would rise to super middleweight and he wouldn't get any recognition if he won.
Everyone would say he fought a guy at 67 pounds, but Crawford is really good and Saul likes to fight. He's made it very clear that money is the only motivation for him right now. If the money is right, he'll fight anyone. But I do not think that he necessarily choose Crawford," - quotes Hearn talkSPORT.
Recall that on May 4, Alvarez defeated Jaime Munguia by unanimous decision of judges.
