The last time we saw “Canelo” in action was on September 30, when he emerged victorious by unanimous decision against Jermell Charlo in the T-Mobile Arena ring in Las Vegas.
Although the date of the match has been officialized, Canelo kept his opponent’s identity secret for his 65th confrontation as a professional. However, in recent weeks, there has been speculation that Jermall Charlo could be the one chosen to face the talented Mexican fighter on a re-match.
