    WBA/WBC middleweight champion Saul Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) says he’s interested in facing WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (33-3-1 28 KOs) after he unifies the 160 lb division.

    Canelo could face Kovalev in 2020 if everything goes right with him unifying the 160 lb weight class against IBF champ Danny Jacobs and WBO belt holder Demetrius Andrade.

    Kovalev will be 36-years-old next year, which is the same age as Gennady Golovkin was when Canelo beat him last September. It would be interesting to see Canelo takes the fight with Kovalev. Hopefully if that fight does take place, we don’t see Alvarez insisting on a catch-weight handicap or a rehydration clause like the one that they have in place for his unification fight against IBF middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs on May 4 on DAZN.
