In exciting news for boxing fans, Canelo Alvarez's next opponent for Cinco de Mayo on May 4th has been leaked to the media. It will be Jermall Charlo, an undefeated fighter with an impressive record of 32-0, including 22 knockouts. While some fans may have hoped for a clash against David Benavidez, choosing Charlo is a good decision. He has a solid track record and brings a fan-friendly style to the ring.
Jermall Charlo has been in the same weight classes as Canelo for years, but they have never faced each other. When he became Canelo's mandatory, the WBC gave the Mexican star the Franchise tag, allowing him to bypass the mandatory fight. However, it is crucial for Canelo to face Jermall now to solidify his resume and add another notable name to his list of opponents.
