Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez no longer has a world title to his name, but he still has plenty of options ahead of his return to the ring later this year.

Canelo’s reign at super-middleweight was nothing short of legendary, claiming all four titles in the division in less than 12 months by beating Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant.

After getting his hands on the undisputed crown, Alvarez lost for the first time in nine years when he faced Dmitry Bivol at light-heavyweight in May of 2022. When he returned to 168 later that year, he put together four defences of his titles, dropped one belt and then won it back.

However, against Terence Crawford last September, the Mexican icon was handed his first defeat at super-middleweight. He now faces returning not as champion but challenger, with WBC super-middleweight ruler Christian Mbilli being the most likely target for September.

Yet, the man who Canelo kickstarted his undisputed run against, Liverpool’s Smith, told Fight Hub TV that he would be willing to rematch Canelo up at light-heavyweight, six years after their WBA and WBC super-middleweight title affair.
