All-time middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (53-6-1, 34 KOs) is due to face WBO title holder Joe in this division before bbabo.net talks for a fight with WBC and IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev Smith. This opinion was expressed by the American's promoter Bob Arum.

"There was no real talk about Canelo's fight with Beterbiev. I think they might want to fight Smith first and then go to Beterbiev. They kind of hint at it. That's why this January 15 fight between Joe and Callum is so important. ", - quoted by Aruma iFL TV.

Recall that Beterbiev defended his titles in December by knocking out American Marcus Brown. The Russian won all his fights ahead of schedule.
