Canelo Alvarez versus Gennady Golovkin was probably the biggest middleweight fight in boxing that could’ve been made.

After having seen that fight twice now, with Alvarez controversially emerging on top, the next biggest fight in the division has been confirmed. ESPN has confirmed that Alvarez will be defending his WBA (Super) and WBC middleweight championships against IBF middleweight champion Danny Jacobs in a unification bout.

The two middleweight stars will collide on Cinco De Mayo weekend on May 4th, likely from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, however, the venue has yet to be finalized. Commenting on the match-up, Alvarez said he has no doubt he’ll emerge victorious against the 31-year-old champion:

“I’m happy to announce my next fight during the festive weekend of Cinco de Mayo,” Alvarez said. “I will unify my middleweight titles against Daniel Jacobs on one of the two most important dates that belong to me.

” I have no doubt that I will be victorious and that I’ll be one step away from becoming the undisputed middleweight world champion.”

As for Jacobs, he has been waiting for an opportunity of this magnitude for a long time. He’s confident he’ll be able to hand the Mexican star his second-ever defeat of his career:

“I’m happy to announce my next fight during the festive weekend of Cinco de Mayo,” Alvarez said. “I will unify my middleweight titles against Daniel Jacobs on one of the two most important dates that belong to me.

“I have no doubt that I will be victorious and that I’ll be one step away from becoming the undisputed middleweight world champion.”

WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford now has a big title defense coming up.

It has been officially announced that Crawford will be defending his belt against former welterweight champion Amir Khan. The fight is slated for April 20th with a location yet to be determined. However, the venue has been narrowed down to either an MGM property in Las Vegas, or New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Promoter Bob Arum suggested the price for the ESPN pay-per-view (PPV) will likely be $59.95. Crawford, 31, is undefeated in his boxing career thus far. He last defeated JosĂ© Benavidez Jr. via 12th-round knockout in October. Now, he’ll share the ring with a legend in Khan, who is currently on a two-fight win streak.

The Englishman hasn’t lost since being knocked unconscious by Canelo Alvarez in 2016. With wins over Phil Lo Greco and Samuel Vargas in the past few years, Khan will now once again challenge for welterweight gold. Many fans would prefer to see Crawford unify with fellow welterweight champions like Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, or Shawn Porter.

But each of those men are already booked through March. For now, Crawford will get to test himself against a seasoned veteran in Khan, who, make no mistake, is still very much a threat to the American’s undefeated record.
