Edison Reynoso, the manager of WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs), wants his boxer to stay busy. Canelo defends his title against former champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Floyd Mayweather Jr. faces Miguel Cotto in main event. If all goes well in May, Reynoso wants Canelo to return in the month of September.
Canelo's manager would like to secure the Mayweather-Cotto winner for September. If not, they will target Vanes Martirosyan or James Kirkland, who are the highest ranked contenders under the WBC.
"It all depends on how things go. We want Canelo to fight in September in Mexico and then return to the United States, or we can fight in September in the United States. If the fight against Mayweather or Cotto is not provided, then we'll look to Vanes Martirosyan [or] James Kirkland," Reynoso said.
