"Canelo" Alvarez promoter Rafael "La Cobra" Mendoza told the press that Canelo will be fighting for the WBC Welterweight World Title at the end of 2010, when Canelo will be 20 years old (His 19 year old birthday was this past saturday, july 18), he's 5 in the World in the WBC.
He mentioned that various promotional companies have made them offers to fight for a World Title.

He said "We need to have patience in this sport, there's no necesity to speed things up, we are doing great, with solid steps, the case it's not be in a World Title fight very soon and then losing the fight, what we want right now is to train him with intensity and when the time comes he will get his World Title fight, and he will win it."
"There was an invitation from Golden Boy to fight for a World Title in this year; and DiBella (Berto's promoter) made us an offer, but we reject them, because we have to wait just a little more.
We have to wait so that Saul can evolve even more, getting more strenght and experience, and then we will go for the World, and it will be for the WBC Title, only for the WBC"
This saturday they celebrated Saul 19 birthday, and Mendoza said that only after Saul 20 birthday he will get him his WBC World Title Fight.
He will be fighting again on Mexico National TV, on Televisa's main channel, with millions of mexicans watching.
He will have 3 more fights this year, first he will be fighting russian Marat Khuzeev (they tried to get him a better opponent, but Marat was the only one that accepted the offer to fight him) on August 8, in Guadalajara.
Then he will be in Chiapas, September 12, on the undercard of the very well known (with the general public) mexican champ Edgar Sosa.
And in November he will have a fight in US.
They want him to have his fights in other states of Mexico and also alternate that fighting in the US, that's why his fight with the Russian will be his last fight in Guadalajara for the moment.
And when he becomes a World Champion, he will come back from his Journey, and fight a World Championship fight in his home, but right now, he's on his quest to conquer the World.
