Saùl “Canelo” Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion and the U.S.’s most bankable boxing star, has agreed to a multifight deal with Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), sources familiar with the deal told Sports Illustrated.
On Thursday, Álvarez (59-2-2) posted on his Instagram story, “Done Deal,” which was followed by a PBC logo.
Álvarez, who successfully defended his titles against John Ryder in May, will return to the ring in September, likely against middleweight titleholder Jermall Charlo. Álvarez and Charlo, who is also represented by PBC, have been negotiating for several weeks. Recently Haymon and Eddy Reynoso, Álvarez’s trainer and manager, met in Cleveland to discuss the framework of the agreement.
