Sergiy Derevyanchenko decided to face Jermall Charlo rather than Canelo Alvarez in his next fight, removing yet another prospective opponent for the Mexican star.
Where does that leave Alvarez?
Well, the most-appealing candidate at this point probably is super middleweight titleholder Callum Smith, who would provide Alvarez the opportunity to win a title in a fourth division.
No realistic opponent beyond the British fighter — at least no one who has been mentioned — would excite fans hoping to see Alvarez face an actual challenge when he fights next in September.
DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora give their thoughts on Alvarez’s prospects in this episode of Jabs with Mannix and Mora.
