Canelo, 32, beat Genaddy Golovkin, 40, on points in their trilogy bout in September and faced being out for a year.
But now, the four-division champion could be back by May and has called out Dmitry Bivol, 31.
Canelo told Bet365.mx: “We will seek revenge.
“I lost trying to make history in another division, complicated, for me, it is number one in the 175-pound division.
“I think I’ll be ready for May again. I am here to face the best and have the best fights in boxing; all those fights interest me; whatever leads me to make history, that’s why I’m here.”
Canelo was beaten on points by Bivol in May, failing in his WBA light-heavyweight title challenge.
The Russian has since beat Gilberto Ramirez, 31, and insisted a unification title clash with Artur Beterbiev, 37, was his main goal.
Promoter Eddie Hearn acknowledged a rematch with Canelo is massive but undisputed glory remains priority.
Hearn said: “It’s pretty obvious that Dmitry Bivol is about legacy and about belts. And he wants to become undisputed.
“That is his absolute main focus. Obviously from my side we want to make the biggest fights possible.
“The Canelo Alvarez rematch is a very big fight. But the priority for Dmitry is to be undisputed.”

For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.

Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
