, said: eddie hearn, it’s an absolute honor to announce a multi-fight promotional deal with the pauper pound.
King canelo alvarez canal transcends boxing and is the biggest star in the sport, and we look forward to promoting some historic nights in 2022.
First up saul takes on yet another champion this time in the shape of fearsome undefeated wba light heavyweight.
King, dimitri bible fans can expect a thrilling, all-action matchup.

This is going to be a very competitive and interesting fight, said andrei rabinsky of the world of boxing.

But nonetheless, i for one look forward to this fight.
Uh my good friend christian spock and i have talked often about canelo and his opponents that have been picked for him or that he picks and this one against bible is going to be a great fight to watch.
Indeed, because canelo has gone up in weight, uh bible is undefeated and it’s just going to be an awesome fight.
So, let’s pop along to yet another uh story, courtesy of eddie, hearn, eddie hearn, says canelo alvarez could fight in london on december 17th against john ryder or the winner between craig richards and joshua bowatsky.
The latter.
I like a lot, as everyone knows who watches our shows.
Joshua bowatze is a great fighter anyway.
So canelo wants to fight in london.
He could be doing that as early as december if he gets through his fights against wba light heavyweight, champ, dimitri vival and triple g gennady golovkin on september 17th.
It’S understandable why the matching boxing boss hearn, is excited about canelo, potentially fighting in london against his wba 168-pound, mandatory rider who’s 31-5 by the way 17 knockouts or the winner of the may 21st wba light heavyweight eliminator between bowatsis 15-0 with 13 knockouts.
I might add, and richards who’s 17 and two and one with ten knockouts so eddie hearn’s quote is we will have the two mandatories said: eddie um, like uh yeah, like if canelo fights in england which he wants to do.
We have two mandatories and two divisions that he holds belts in so john ryder at super middle and joshua blatzy, fighting kirk richards for eliminator in the wpa.
So anyway, the point matter is: is canelo’s got a good year ahead of him in terms of challenges, and we certainly look forward to those fights and those results, and obviously so is eddie hearn and the guys in the zone.
