World Boxing Council President Mauricio Suilaiman is mediating the title situation in the middleweight division.
WBC champion Miguel Cotto will defend his title against Daniel Geale on June 6th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
If Cotto wins that fight, he will have to defend against mandatory challenger Gennady Golovkin, who holds the WBA/IBO titles and the WBC interim-belt.
But Cotto's handlers are instead hoping to face Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in the fall.
Sulaiman is trying to work out an agreement where Cotto/Canelo would fight each other - but the two of them would have to sign an agreement which guarantees Golovkin the winner.
"First, Cotto has to get through June 6. There are already talks of a fight with Canelo in September or October. We have been in communication with Golovkin, and he understands the importance of a Cotto-'Canelo fight, that was scheduled for May and did not happen. We are trying to mediate with all of the parties for two big fights, Cotto with Canelo and the winner with Golovkin," Sulaiman said.
