"In the coming days will be the announcement of the function in which Mayweather Jr. would face Robert Guerrero for the UFC welterweight Saul Alvarez and Austin Trout for the middleweight and such as cable television, "said Roberto Diaz of Golden Boy Promotions, who is in Cancun for the fight between Roberto Ortiz and Fidel Monterrosa.


"We, as people of Golden Boy, we wanted to give other options, but heard the boxer and he said 'I want to Trout'"
In addition, Diaz said the fight "Canelo" Trout to be the prelude to a showdown with Mayweather to be held in September during national holidays mexixcanas.

"We, as people of Golden Boy, we wanted to give other options, but heard the boxer and he said 'I want to Trout', and so will just have to wait until it becomes official," the representative of the developer.

Furthermore, Diaz reported that Daniel Ponce de Leon and Abner Mares vie for the WBC featherweight title in April or May. "Abner seeking his third world title against Ponce de Leon and the fight will materialize in the coming days also."

A source informed Fightnews.com that representatives of WBA super welterweight world champion Austin Trout and WBC super welterweight world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez are very close to reaching an agreement for May 4 in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Word is Golden Boy Promotions is very close to announcing the opponents for Canelo and also Floyd Mayweather Jr., and that only a few details need to get resolved before they make the official announcement.

Fightnews.com


May 24th was a typo obviously.
Not surprising, we've been expecting this news for a while now.

I don't like Canelo at all but he gets respect just based off his choice of competition.

Sure he hasn't fought anyone really impressive yet but he sure tried.

Trout is a real test. I wonder what the odds will be.
