Canelo Alvarez's trainer Eddy Reynoso has named a British boxer who could become the ninth fighter from the United Kingdom to face the Mexican super-middleweight champion, according to a report from Forbes. The revelation came during a press conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 29, 2026, ahead of Alvarez's WBC World Super-Middleweight Championship bout.
The identity of the British contender was not disclosed in the initial report. If the fight materializes, the opponent would join a list of eight previous British boxers who have challenged Alvarez across multiple weight divisions.
Alvarez, widely regarded as one of the sport's top pound-for-pound fighters, was in Riyadh for the promotional event alongside Reynoso. The champion's next opponent has been the subject of speculation, with several British contenders mentioned in media circles.
