Under that statement, Hearn stressed that the fights are also conceived for the inspiration of Canelo Álvarez and that although he could defend his titles in the 168 pounds he is looking to move up to 175 pounds to challenge.

“When people talk that Canelo should fight Benavidez and Charlo, that they would be voluntary defenses of their titles from the 168 pounds, that doesn’t stoke anything in Canelo. When we talk about Bivol, Canelo likes the idea of ​​going up to the 175 pounds and challenging someone,” he added.1200
