Canelo May Return in November Against Saunders or Smith
By Carlos Costa PhilBoxing.com Wed, 26 Aug 2020

Executives of top British streaming service DAZN and Oscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions are in negotiations for Canelo's possible return in November. 👍👍
DAZN and Golden Boy want the hugely popular Canelo (53-1-2, 36 KO’s) from Guadalajara, México, to battle one of these two unbeaten 30-year-old Briton world champions: WBO super middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders (29-0, 14 KO’s) of Hatfield, or WBA super middleweight world champion Callum Smith (27-0, 19 KO’s) of Liverpool. ✅
In contrast, Mauricio Sulaimán and the WBC have ordered the superstar to fight some rather unknown Turkish boxer, a pick that boxing fans seem to reject. 🧐
Fans prefer to see the 30-year-old Canelo in battle against a tougher, skilled world champion with a name. 🥊 British world champions Saunders and Smith fit the bill. 👍👍
Saunders or Smith? Who between them will be the one to get in the ring with El Canelo next, as Triple G seems for this time out of the equation? 🧐🧐
In fact, it is possible that the return could be not in November, but in December.
Either month, chances are high that fans will see Canelo in action by end of 2020 in Los Angeles or Las Vegas. Let's hope so. 🔥🔥
— We’ll keep you informed. ✋
