Canelo said he wants to fight again in Dec. How? Won't he have to face Charlo next?
3-4 PPV fights that month
May vs Pac
Wilder vs Fury
Spence vs Garcia
Canelo vs TBA

So you think May vs Pac 2 actually gonna happen in December? I'd be truly surprised
Spence vs Garcia supposedly being "pushed back"
Wilder vs Fury hopefully happens afterall but they are marinating the announcement like forever... so idk

I think realistically only 1 US PPV gonna happen in December and that's Wilder vs Fury but as I said even that is not sure...
I believe Canelo might wanna fight someone in December but questionable if he's able to with that deep cut and a grueling fight last night

Canelo is not fighting anybody else this year..that cut has a life on its own..we wont see him until prolly february at the earliest

I've been out of the loop on boxing for about a year or two outside of the big fights. Definitely will be back for the Anthony Joshua fight.

Anyways, over the past year, outside of the above post who are the up and comers?

LOL @ Canelo fighting in December. It would be really out of character of him to fight outside of May & September. His inactivity really irritates me, which makes him being at the top of the division a bad thing imo. One of the most inactive "draws" of all time.

Dmitry Bivol to return in December, Badou Jack or Joe Smith Jr likely to be opponent

Earlier today TASS reported that WBA Light Heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (14-0, 11) [дмитрий бивол] is set to return in December do make the next defense of his title.

The Kyrgyzstan born Russian based 27 year old, who has notched wins over Sullivan Barrera and Isaac Chilemba this year, hasn't got a nailed down opponent but it does seem like there are two fighters that Bivol and his team have in mind.

The most notable of the two men Bivol was wanting to fight was former WBC Super Middleweight champion Badou Jack (22-1-3, 13). Bivol revealed that talks had taken place to fight the American based Swedish-Gambian hadn't hadn't yielded any results yet, but it does seem like a deal is still being looked at.

The other name mentioned was American fighter Joe Smith Jr (24-2, 20), who is best known for back-to-back stoppage wins in 2016 over Andrzej Fonfara and Bernard Hopkins. His run of big wins came to an end in July 2017 when he was beaten by Sullivan Barrera, but he did drop Barrera before losing a decision to the Cuban. Since then he has bounced back with a win in June.

It seems like Bivol is open to facing Smith due to the fact many of the top Light Heavyweights are already booked up with bouts. The likes of Eleider Alvarez, who will be facing off in a rematch with Sergey Kovalev, Adonis Stevenson and Oleksandr Gvozdyk, who will be battling eah other in December, and Artur Beterbiev, who fights in October against Callum Johnson, are all booked up and unavailable for Bivol. With that in mind Smith is certainly not a terrible opponent to keep Bivol busy.
