Canelo Vacates His WBC Middleweight Title. Then Gives This Statement

You may or may not of heard that Canelo has just vacated his WBC middleweight title. This will mean one thing and one thing only, expect Golovkin and Canelo to be facing anyone else but each other.

Canelo is clearly making a business move here, as, his boxing brain was saying, “let’s put the gloves on right now, and I’m from Mexico, and we don’t f**k around.”

There is an official statement from Golden Boy’s Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo that reads:

“After much consideration, today, I instructed my team at Golden Boy Promotions to continue negotiating a fight with Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin and to finalize a deal as quickly as possible. I also informed the WBC that I will vacate its title. For the entirety of my career, I have taken the fights that no one wanted because I fear no man. Never has that been more true than today. I will fight ‘GGG,’ and I will beat ‘GGG’ but I will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines. I am hopeful that by putting aside this ticking clock, the two teams can now negotiate this fight, and ‘GGG’ and I can get in the ring as soon as possible and give the fans the fight they want to see.”

Hmmmm, you want to get in the ring as soon as possible, well, you are still within the deadline window, 6 days left to be precise.

This is modern day boxing people. I’m sorry to say.
