Mentions Saul Alvarez The Biggest Ticket In Boxing, Roy Jones Jr. Suggests Canelo To Complete Trilogy Against Golovkin

JAKARTA - Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez's loss to Dmitry Bivol will not affect his star power, as "he's still the biggest ticket in boxing" outside of heavyweight, says Roy Jones Jr.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the American boxer and actor said that it doesn't matter who Canelo fights with in the future, because the name of the Mexican boxer will continue to attract a lot of eyes.

"(He's) the biggest ticket in boxing, outside the heavyweight division right now," said Jones Jr., quoted from Marca, Wednesday, May 11.

Jonee Jr then advised Canelo about the career direction he should take after suffering the second defeat of his career.

According to him, the next step Canelo should take is to complete the trilogy against Gennady Golovkin.

"Fight Triple G first because he's one of those boxers that people are willing to pay a lot of money to watch," said Jones Jr.

"He's one that will arouse interest and you can do it in the middle class category."
