If this is true then I commend Alvarez for really stepping up and making another challenge in his career.
This is a new territory for him, as far as I can remember, when he goes up to LHW and challenge Kovalev and won the fight, he said that he will stay down at super MW.
And it's obvious though that there are no more challenges at 168 lbs and that's why he and his team are now going to campaign in Cruiserweight.

I'm surprised that after Canelo becomes an undisputed champion he is planning to have another fight.
This guy does not want to rest, he wants to always continue to be in business and that is by beating fighters, this time still a bigger fighter but not a known name IMO. So maybe he should make it happen, in bigger weights, there's bigger money, so if he could still reign there, that's another big success of Canelo and more praises he'll receive as a fighter.
This guy is really huge, look at is highlights here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF07uecaQvs

Why not go and chase Bivol or Beterviev at LHW though? and chooses the weakest in the Cruiserweight champion in Makabu?
I'm not saying the Canelo is not good, he is great and one of the best of the current generations and could be the fighter of the decade, but it seems that this is cherry picking to me. No offense to Canelo's fans here.

Ilunga Makabu is a Congolese fighter with a record of 28 wins and two losses and the WBC cruiserweight world champion challenged by Canelo Alvarez is not satisfied with the few titles he has won.
Makabu is a formidable fighter with a lethal punch, and his 25 KO wins prove that he has a deadly punch that all boxers should be wary of.
I don't know about his opponent but if we only based on his record, that's not relevant as Canelo has been beating guys with undefeated record. Makabu is a formidable fighter with a lethal punch, and his 25 KO wins prove that he has a deadly punch that all boxers should be wary of.
So it's still Canelo for me.
And if I'm not mistaken, Canelo Alvarez vs Ilunga Makabu in Anggedakan will fight in May June 2022.
That's according to the article shared by the poster above. However, it may change as they haven't sign a contract yet but the biggest news here is that Canelo moving up in weight.

Great decision by Canelo Alvarez, moving up gives him a better opportunity to prove that he can become a champion in a high division. There's nothing for him to prove since he is already an undisputed champion in his current division.
This fight has no official date yet but there's speculation that it will likely happen next year between May and June.

So now it became official?
I'm reading this on news recently but more on discussions and just a plan. Now it was finalized although no official date yet, another milestone for Canelo if win.
Maybe just on you.
The opponent is popular, especially in his weight class. If it's not, he won't be able to be considered as the next opponent for the recently undisputed champion, Canelo Alvarez.

Any news about the target date of this Match?
Nothing is official at this point but it should take place on Cinco de Mayo weekend.
As expected with Canelo after winning on his last match, he can easily have the next match so they can continue with the hype.
With the records of Makabu, I can say that he is a great boxer and should be taken seriously by Canelo this could be a big match for him and if he him, for sure next match will settle right away. Any news about the target date of this Match?

After becoming undisputed champion at super middleweight Canelo is now prepared for his next challenge. He will be moving up two weight classes to face WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu. This opponent is not very well known but he has a high knockout percentage with 25 KOs in 28 victories and he has not had a loss in over 5 years. It will be an impressive feat if Canelo can become champion at cruiserweight after starting his career fighting in the jr. welterweight division.
