EDDIE HEARN revealed Canelo Alvarez would ‘love to fight in England’ as the promoter teased a headliner at Wembley.
The boxing poster boy has never ventured outside of America or Mexico in his 59 fight career.
But Hearn – who has promoted free agent Canelo in his last three fights – will look to change that.
Asked on Instagram Live about Alvarez, 30, coming to Wembley, he replied: “I’ve already spoke to Canelo about coming to England to fight next year.
“And he would love to do it, love to fight in England.”
Hearn promoted Canelo’s wins over Callum Smith, 31, Avni Yildirim, 30, and Billy Joe Saunders, 31, recently all on sports streaming service DAZN.
But he will not have direct involvement for Alvarez’s undisputed super-middleweight title decider with Caleb Plant, 29, over the weekend.
A win for Canelo would crown him as undisputed champion for the first time ever in his illustrious career.
It will also mean he has cleared out the 168lb division and leave him with a decision on what to do next.
Hearn has previously revealed a plan to take the pound-for-pound No1 international.
He told Sky Sports in May: “His plan now is to go and become undisputed – that’s a fight with Caleb Plant.
“And then from there he wants to go and box around the world.
“He’d love to fight in the UK, I think his popularity here is through the roof. He’s beaten, what? Seven UK fighters over the years.
“So he’d love to fight here, he said he’d love to fight in the Middle East, in the Far East and of course in Mexico in a huge show.
“I think you’re gonna see him box around the world.
“He told me that he wants to fight for seven more years, so you’re gonna be seeing a lot of Canelo Alvarez.”
