JAKARTA - Canelo Alvarez will undergo wrist surgery and decide to take a one-year leave.
The Mexican star explained that the next fight would not have happened before September 2023. This means that he must be absent from the Cinco de Mayo or the celebration of Mexican heritage and pride which coincides on May 5.
"After my daughter's 15th birthday party, I will go to the United States," said the undisputed super middleweight world champion a few days ago, quoted by Marca, Friday.
The 32-year-old Mexican beat Gennady Golovkin on September 17 to end their trilogy after a draw with him in 2017 and beat him one year later.
"I have two other opinions from two doctors and we will see what is best for me and undergo surgery," Canelo said.
"[I] may [back] in September. We will see what is best."
Meanwhile, rumors suggest Canelo will be looking for a rematch with Dmitry Bivol in the 175 pound category after Russian fighters beat him in May in a semi-complete WBA championship bout.
It was the defeat of the two Mexican boxers in his career as professional boxers.
