Canelo Alvarez will speak this week.

Canelo Alvarez is reported to be dropping big news this Tuesday when he appears on TV Azteca, but what will it be? 

As one of boxing’s biggest attractions, Canelo always generates interest, and the boxing world will be watching closely to see what the Mexican’s next move is. 

Here, DAZN looks at three possible announcements Canelo could make 

A fight with Terence Crawford 

Speculated ever since Terence Crawford defeated Errol Spence last summer, could the Nebraskan jump three weight classes to tackle Canelo Alvarez? 

If so, it would see Crawford take a massive risk, but one that would enhance his legacy greatly if he were to somehow defeat Canelo at 168lbs. 

A fight with David Benavidez 

Canelo’s biggest threat at 168lbs is undoubtedly David Benavidez. The Arizona man has impressed when competing at the highest level and next on his list is Canelo. 

This fight has been teased for a long time and with both men occupying the top spots at super-middleweight, it could be the best fight to make for the division. 

Retirement 

Has Canelo done everything he ever wanted to do in boxing? He’s been at the top of the sport for many years now and this could be the right time to bow out as champion of his division? 

There still are a few more tests that could motivate the Mexican, but if he were to leave boxing, his legacy would easily be secured as one of the best fighters of his generation.
