Canelo eyeing ONE fight after Terence Crawford
Canelo Alvarez already has goals of landing a major rematch after his September showdown with Terence Crawford.
Canelo will defend his undisputed super middleweight titles against fellow four-division world champion, Crawford on September 13 in Las Vegas.
The 34-year-old, a veteran of 67 professional bouts, has just two losses on his record to Floyd Mayweather Jr and Dmitry Bivol.
Alvarez moved up in weight to 175lbs to challenge now-unified titlist Bivol for his WBA crown in May 2022, but was convincingly beaten by the Russian on points.
The Mexican great has won six on the spin since, all at super middleweight, but admits he would return to light heavyweight for a rematch, claiming his training camp was plagued with injuries for that bout.

“I hope I have the opportunity to have the rematch with Bivol, that’s the only fight at 175 I would really take,” Canelo told The Ring Magazine.
“But we’ll see.
“I want to tell myself ‘Hey, you learned something from that fight’, what things you don’t need to do again.
“I have that thing in myself which says ‘Hey, you need to show that you’re a better fighter than him.’
“I showed 50% of my ability right there.
“No condition. Nothing because I couldn’t run.
“I had one month of no sparring, because of my hand.
The pair have held talks over a rematch since their battle, but discussions broke down with Alvarez reportedly desiring a second fight at 175lbs, while Bivol wanted to return to super middleweight for a shot at the undisputed crown.
The 34-year-old became the undisputed light heavyweight champion in February, gaining revenge over Artur Beterbiev, having lost the first fight.
He has since relinquished the WBC belt to pursue a trilogy with Beterbiev and Alvarez concedes he was beaten by the better man when they fought.

“I did a good fight, a very good fight, but not enough,” he added.
“Oh, he’s good. He’s a very good fighter.
“You can see, and everybody says, ‘Oh, he’s nothing. He chose the fighter.’
“He’s a good fighter; he’s one of the best fighters out there.”
Alvarez, who reclaimed the undisputed championship in May with victory over William Scull, is set to come face-to-face with Crawford on June 20 in Saudi Arabia at the start of a three-city tour to promote their bout, which will be aired live on Netflix.
Their bout was originally announced for September 12 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, before Saudi Arabian boxing chief, Turki Alalshikh moved it to September 13.
The clash will remain in Las Vegas, but a venue is still to be confirmed with Allegiant Stadium currently slated to stage a college football game on September 13 between UNLV Rebels and Idaho State.
Crawford will move up two weight classes to challenge Alvarez and would have been out of the ring for over a year, with his last fight a unanimous decision win over Israil Madrimov last August to claim the WBA super welterweight title
