These "sources" said canelo was already locked in to fight little g in September. Now all of a sudden DAZN has given him "permission" to fight kovalev......nah....Canelo wants to fight kovalev and DAZN had no choice but to fall in line. Canelo holds all the power right now. AJ lost and now canelo is carrying DAZN on his back. Without him their whole brand would be in trouble right now. Not saying a 3rd little g fight won't happen, but it's obvious Canelo isn't obligated to it. There's really not much DAZN can do about it. The contracts have already been signed. We fight who we wanna fight :CaneLOL:
And really, nobody cares about a 3rd fight. It'll be the same exact shyt. Little g playing it safe then crying like a bytch after. A canelo-kovalev fight would draw much more interest from the entire fighting community....even the MMA crowd. Not even the casuals care about a 3rd golovkin fight. The shyt is over with. Canelo proved he was better and it's time for some new fresh matchups to take place.
Man if they do want to make a 3rd GGG fight, let it breathe. Whether the people felt GGG or Nelo won, I have fatigue from it and like you said, both need fresh and intriguing match ups. It'll also pull GGG card cause while we know he's waiting on Nelo, if Nelo occupies himself with Kov and then something like a Callum Smith or Andrade afterwards, then we'll see if GGG bout that life and if he'll fight a live body (and not somebody he's fought before or from a lower weight class)

Daniel Dubois: I Think Andy Ruiz Has Anthony Joshua's Number
Why is everybody acting like Ruiz would be some established star now? I've seen articles calling them the "big 4" now instead of big 3, including Ruiz
How you know Ruiz not gonna be a Rahman, Douglas or Sanders? Nah just call Fury and Wilder big 2 if you really have to call them somehow.
Old heads like @patscorpio : did the media start to consider the likes of Rahman, Sanders and Douglas as elite fighters immediately after their upset wins or they held it until they saw how they follow up on them?
Also, what's this babying of Joshua, why he shouldn't fight Ruiz? He already beat better fighters than Ruiz, even a similar style opponent in Povetkin. Lewis knocked Rahman the fukk out in an immediate rematch, why AJ must be babied here?

Sanders and Douglas were considered underachievers that finally won the big one. Rahman wasn't an underachiever, just right place right time.
I have no idea breh

That’s the shyt that crazy to me...it ain’t Joshua was getting beat pillar to post..he just got TKO’D after never fully recovering from the first knockdown.
I think AJ will play it super conservative and win the next fight. AN so has a trash as team tho..his whole game plan was unbecoming of a man
....Joshua fought so passive. He deserved to get stopped. It just seem like you need to have a little bit of dog in you and you got a legit chance at beating AJ word to Dillan Whyte...
Canelo vs. Derevyanchenko - Purse Bid Set For July 23
By Jake Donovan
In a year where Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez vowed to collect all of the middleweight belts, his next move could instead be departing with yet another title.
As previously reported by BoxingScene.com senior writer Keith Idec, the reigning World middleweight champion is in danger of being stripped of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) title unless he honors a mandatory title defense versus Sergiy Derevyanchenko. The bout is now subject to a purse bid, which the IBF has officially ordered on Tuesday.
The purse bid hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 23 12:00pm at IBF headquarters in Springfield, New Jersey. The respective camps for Alvarez and Derevyanchenko have been formally notified by the IBF via letter, of which BoxingScene.com has obtained a copy.

Alvarez (52-1-2, 35KOs) was first formally notified of the upcoming mandatory title defense by the sanctioning body on May 15. The initial alert was sent in haste, insisting he was locked into a mandatory defense whereas he was actually granted a 30-day period where he could file an exemption to instead take on a voluntary defense.
The window expired, however, on June 15 with neither Alvarez nor Golden Boy Promotions making contact with the IBF or with Derevyanchko (13-1, 10KOs), whose team includes promoter Lou DiBella, manager Keith Connolly and adviser Al Haymon.
Alvarez inherited the mandatory following a 12-round win over exiting IBF titlist Daniel Jacobs in their title unification clash this past May in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both boxers knew going in of the pending challenge awaiting the winner, with Derevyanchenko moving back into the number-one contender position following a 12-round win over Germany’s Jack Culcay this past April.
A pressing dilemma facing Alvarez comes in the form of sports streaming platform DAZN—with whom he signed the richest contract in boxing history last fall—flexing its muscles in urging the Mexican icon to next face either Gennadiy Golovkin in a third fight, or reigning light heavyweight titlist Sergey Kovalev, a fight in which Alvarez would move up in weight.
DAZN has so far approved only those two names as suitable opponents for Alvarez’s next fight, which is being eyed for September. The DAZN brass has yet to comment on whether any other alternative would be accepted—including Derevyanchenko or unbeaten WBO middleweight titlist Demetrius Andrade.
With Alvarez making a reported $35 million per fight under his record-breaking contract, it seems that parting with another title is in his immediate future. He has already handed off the WBC title to unbeaten Jermall Charlo, accepting in exchange a designation as WBC “Franchise” champion.
Should he relinquish the IBF title, it will mark the second straight time Derevyanchenko will be in line to fight for the vacant belt. He dropped a competitive 12-round decision to Jacobs, under such circumstances last October, their title fight coming about after Golovkin gave up the belt in favor of a rematch with Alvarez last September to end his overall title reign.
Golovkin is currently the number-two contender in the IBF middleweight rankings.
looks like the IBF belt is going bye bye
