      by

      And she looks set to pick up her MMA career after signing with the PFL, a rival promotion to the UFC.
      Ditcheva, 24, is currently in the semi-final of the PFL’s European season, where a win qualifies her into the $1million global league.
      But the former Muay Thai champ would also be all ears if an offer to welcome Serrano to the PFL also presented itself.
      Ditcheva told SunSport: “I’m definitely asking about the tournament next year in the main season at flyweight for $1million, but obviously that’s not confirmed.

      “PFL have so many different plans at the moment, they’ve just signed Amanda Serrano and she’s my weight so I’d be up for that next year. 
      “They’re into all sorts so you never know but I’d definitely be up for doing the tournament next year or just staying busy. 
      “I’d like three fights next year. So, as long as they give me that and it works for me, then I’m not too bothered. 
      “My main focus is winning this tournament first, I want to get this belt then we’ll see what happens after that.”

      PFL Europe is a three-stage knockout tournament, with Ditcheva returning in this Saturday’s semis in Paris.
      The global league instead features two qualification bouts with points earned per method of victory.
      From there, the top four in each division progress to the semis and final where a title belt and winner-take-all $1m cash prize is at stake.
      But Serrano will instead feature in the PFL’s newly-launched super-fight series, which will also see Jake Paul, 26, and Francis Ngannou, 37, debut.
      So Ditcheva is eyeing a crossover mega-fight against Serrano, who she has admired from a distance over the years.
      PFL have so many different plans at the moment, they’ve just signed Amanda Serrano and she’s my weight so I’d be up for that next year! 
      She said: “I’d definitely put it out there that I’d be up for that. We’ll see what happens but Serrano is a top level boxer. It would be interesting. 
      “She fought Katie Taylor and it was a close fight and I’ve always watched Katie and never thought anybody would be on her level so that was a big stand out moment for her. 
      “I’ve admired what Serrano did in that fight and someone I’ve looked at as a top level athlete. 
      “It’s nice to see a little crossover in the sport, I’m excited to see how it works out and what they decide to do with it.” 
      Before any talk of super-fights and $1m seasons, Ditcheva first faces Cornelia Holm in the French capital.

      She said: “I’m expecting a tough fight. She had a close fight in the first round, she got knocked down but she also gave it to the girl. 
      “I know she’ll be tough but I don’t think I’ll struggle too much against her.”

      White and Espinoza had a close relationship as the pair worked together in 2017 to promote the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight.

      Canelo Alvarez opens up on the brutal pain of fighting with an injured hand but vows to return to his best after surgery

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ has opened up on the brutal pain of fighting with an injured hand – but he vowed to return to greatness. The Mexican has been plagued with a problem in his left hand since late 2021 when he became undisputed super-middleweight champion.

      Still he fought on in 2022 to suffer defeat at light-heavyweight to Dmitry Bivol, 32, and then later victory over Gennady Golovkin, 41.
      It was only after victory in his trilogy bout with GGG that Canelo finally went under the knife.
      Although when he returned against John Ryder, 34, in May, the boxing superstar insisted he was still in recovery.
      And he had to excruciatingly box on with the busted hand in training and fight night in his last two bouts.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Canelo, 33, told SunSport: “I was not able to train 100 per cent with my hand and do everything in the gym. It was bad pain. It is what it is. 
      “Now it makes me happy because I’m able to train 100 per cent and that makes me confident. 
      “In my last fight, I was still in rehab so I don’t have that confidence to go big in the fight because I’m still in rehab and that’s something I like today. 
      “Now, I’m able to train 100 per cent and that makes me confident.”

      Despite one-sided points wins over Golovkin and Ryder, still Canelo maintained it was far from his brilliant best.
      But after fully recovering from his hand woes, he is ready to let his hands do the talking.
      Canelo said: “I know why. That’s the most important thing, I know why I wasn’t able to go deep and 100 per cent in my last two fights. 
      “I was in pain in my hand and I wasn’t able to train 100 per cent but right now, I feel great. 
      “And I don’t want to say, ‘This is going to be different.’ You will see in the fight.” 
      Canelo will put his fixed fist to the test on Saturday night in a historic undisputed title fight on Showtime PPV.

      Light-middleweight ruler Jermell Charlo, 33, will jump TWO divisions to challenge for Canelo’s 168lb crown.
      And it marks the first time two current undisputed champions have ever shared the ring.
      It gives Canelo the chance to make another piece of history at the same time as forcing Charlo to pay for his previous trash talk.
      He said: “I love boxing. I love boxing and I love these kind of fights. 
      “And it motivates me more and more because he (Charlo) never believed in my skills, he’s always calling me out, always talking s*** about me.

      “He never believed in my skills and right now, I’m able to show him my skills and why I’m here. That motivates me.
