, Canelo Alvarez to extend DAZN deal to three fights worth £120m with December bout after Gennady Golovkin trilogy

CANELO ALVAREZ is already in talks to extend his deal with DAZN and Eddie Hearn to three fights worth £120million.

The Mexican superstar signed a two-bout deal which will see him return against WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, 31 on May 7.

He is then set for a trilogy blockbuster in September against Gennady Golovkin, 39, afterwards.

But according to ESPN, Canelo’s trainer and manager Eddy Reynoso is already lining up a third for in December alongside Hearn.

That would take his 2022 package up to $160m (£120m) with cruiserweight champ Ilunga Makabu, 34, an end of year target.

Britain’s John Ryder in the UK is another alternate, but Hearn admitted he would love to take Canelo back home to Mexico.

He said: “Even though I’m British, to do a Canelo fight in Mexico would be one for the ages.

“We could look back on that for years to come and say this was just incredible.”

Hearn first started working with Canelo after the pound-for-pound king terminated his contract with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.

And the Matchroom Boxing boss has no problem admitting he is living the dream.

He said: “In England, they take the mickey out of me for being a Canelo fanboy, but I am. One, he’s the easiest person I’ve ever worked with.

“Two, he’s the best fighter I’ve ever worked with and three, he’s the biggest draw I’ve ever worked with.

“So, for us it’s massive and it’s enjoyable. That’s the most important thing.”
