In a bold statement that has rocked the sports world, boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez has announced that he is ready to face Conor McGregor next year, claiming he will easily knock out the MMA fighter. Speaking in an interview with reporter Manouk Akopyan, Canelo confidently declared:

“Yeah, then we’ll show boxing is better. Easy, easy. Very easy money. [I’ll knock him out] at the time I want. One round, two rounds, three rounds – whatever I want.”

Canelo’s statement has fueled speculation about a highly anticipated fight between two top fighters from different sports. While McGregor has stepped into the boxing ring before against Floyd Mayweather in 2017, a bout with Canelo would present a completely different challenge. Canelo, a multi-time world champion, is widely regarded as one of the best boxers in the world today, known for his fast and powerful punches.

Though McGregor is famous for his confidence and aggressive fighting style in MMA, a fight against Canelo could prove to be a tough obstacle for the Irish fighter. With the vast difference in boxing experience, many believe Canelo will make good on his promise and knock McGregor out with ease.

Whether this showdown between two legends will happen next year remains to be seen, but it’s sure to capture the attention of fans worldwide.
