Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will aim to become a four-weight world champion when he takes on Sergey Kovalev on November 2. A third meeting between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo had been rumoured but negotiations fell through, leading him to instead move up to take on WBO light heavyweight champion Kovalev.

If Canelo were looking for the toughest challenges, he'd go for prime LHW, let's be honest. Not that Kovalev isn't dangerous, he's just not as dangerous or hungry like other LHW champs. These guys are in their prime and boy do they want to prove themselves, they wouldn't be looking to cash out, they would be looking to crucify Canelo to make a name for themselves. So let's just call spade a spade without this "toughest challenges" nonsense - it won't be easy, but with lovely 118-110 judging, past his prime Kovalev it won't be so tough either. Very smart work on Canelo's team's part to build him an excellent resume.
