CelebnSports247.com reports that Canelo Alvarez next fights are still undecided but Al Haymon’s PBC recently extended a one-fight offer to Alvarez for a May 7 to defend his undisputed super middleweight championship against middleweight titleholder Jermall Charlo.

The other option came from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, a proposed two-fight deal that would pit Canelo vs. light heavyweight titleholder Dmitry Bivol, also slated on May 7th.

The second fight: a long-awaited trilogy battle between Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin on Sept. 17, but this time, at 168 pounds for Alvarez’s four belts.

Basically, this means that Canelo Alvarez now ponders bouts with Jermall Charlo, Dmitry Bivol and trilogy with Gennady Golovkin.

At the moment, Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) has plenty of time to decide which path he wants to pursue for those dates. The promotion for most top-level fights commences eight weeks out, which gives Alvarez at least one month to weigh these two options and whatever other offers are sure to come his way.

Alvarez, 31, is currently focused on preparations for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament that begins next week.

After that, he’ll have plenty to consider. He has expressed on numerous occasions how much he relishes being a promotional free agent and the flexibility that brings. Boxing’s top star signed an 11-fight, $365 million deal with DAZN in 2018 shortly after he defeated GGG in a September rematch that headlined HBO PPV.

Canelo is known to have a fight on Cinco De Mayo weekend and Mexican Independence weekend in September when possible.
