Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez: Other boxers need to fight each other instead of waiting for me to give them a paydayGettyImages
The undisputed champion at 168lbs is preparing for Dmitry Bivol this May.

Undisputed super middleweight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has grown tired of being called for fights by other fighters and once them to sort it out amongst themselves. 

It has been something of a rite de passage for fighters from middleweight all the way to light heavyweight to suggest they are the boxer who can finally deliver Canelo’s second career defeat after years of dominance.

Speaking to ES News, Canelo said that he was open to any fight on offer, but that it was up to the others to put themselves front and centre. 

“I'll fight anybody,” he said. “But they need to fight each other too. They're just waiting for me because they want a good payday. 

“I know that, but they need to fight each other and I'll fight the winner of all of them.” 

Canelo is currently set to fight Dmitry Bivol on Cinco de Mayo weekend for the WBA light heavyweight crown, live on DAZN.
