Saul "Canelo" Alvarez of Mexico and John Ryder
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will return to action in September after signing a promotional deal with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has signed a promotional deal with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) and will return to the ring in September.
The multiple weight world champion was signed to Eddie Hearn's Matchroom, but has opted for a change in promoters.
Alvarez comfortably beat Briton John Ryder in May and is being lined up to face WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo next.
The 32-year-old Mexican announced the news on his social media.
American fighter Charlo has not fought since June 2021, but is undefeated in 32 fights with 22 of those coming by knockout.
PBC is an American promotion that also promotes the likes of welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr and Gervonta Davis.
Alvarez last fought at middleweight in 2018 when he beat Gennady Golovkin to become the unified champion.
He currently has 59 wins, two losses and two draws on his record.
