Канело Альварес аравдугаар сард WBC-ийн аварга Кристиан Мбиллитэй тулалдахаар төлөвлөж байгаа бол промоутер Эдди Хирн өөрийн боксчин Диего Пачеког Канелогийн дараагийн өрсөлдөгч болох боломжтой гэж үзэж байна.
Өнгөрсөн есдүгээр сард Теренс Кроуфордод ялагдсанаар Канело Альваресийн супер дунд жингийн үнэмлэхүй аваргын бүсүүд задарсан билээ. Үүний үр дүнд Кристиан Мбилли WBC-ийн аваргаар өргөмжлөгдсөн бол Хосе Армандо Ресендиз WBA-ийн аварга болсон ч удалгүй Хайме Мунгиад бүсээ алдсан юм.
Промоутер Эдди Хирн өөрийн боксчин Диего Пачеког Хайме Мунгиатай тулалдуулахыг хүсэж байсан ч Мунгиа дэлхийн аварга болсон нь хэлэлцээрийг илүү төвөгтэй болгожээ. Гэсэн хэдий ч Хирн ирээдүйд Пачеког Канело Альварестэй тулалдах өндөр магадлалтай өрсөлдөгч хэмээн тодорхойлж байна.
Хэрэв Канело Альварес аравдугаар сард Мбиллиг ялж чадвал Пачекогийн ялагдашгүй амжилт, Лос-Анжелес хотын гаралтай мексик-америк боксчин гэдэг нь түүнийг аваргын бүсний төлөөх тулаанд нэр дэвшихэд хангалттай үндэслэл болно гэж Хирн үзэж байна. Диего Пачеко энэ бямба гарагт Калифорнид болох тулаанд Иммануэль Алиймтай рингэнд гарах юм.

Canelo Alvarez is set to challenge for Christian Mbilli’s WBC super-middleweight world title in October, hoping to return to the 168lb throne at the first time of asking, but there is now another contender who is eyeing up a Canelo fight, under one condition.
Alvarez’s reign as undisputed super-middleweight ruler came to an end when he was dethroned by Terence Crawford last September, but Crawford’s retirement saw the undisputed crown then become fragmented.
Mbilli became one of the beneficiaries of Crawford’s move as he was elevated to WBC world champion and subsequently targeted for a lucrative showdown with Canelo. Similarly, Jose Armando Resendiz was upgraded to WBA super-middleweight champion, only to then lose the belt to Jaime Munguia.
Speaking with K.O. Artist Sports, Matchroom Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that he had been targeting a bout between Munguia and his fighter Diego Pacheco, but admitted that the Tijuana-born champion’s world title win has made negotiations more difficult.
“The one that we really wanted [for Pacheco] was Jaime Munguia. I spoke to Fernando Beltran many times about that fight, it is a huge fight for Los Angeles. He went on and done brilliant and won a world title, so now we would be challenging for the belt, which sometimes makes it a bit more difficult to work out a deal.”
Hearn then went on to explain why he believes Pacheco could secure a world title shot against Canelo, if the four-division world champion is able to overcome Mbilli in three months’ time.
“I don’t think that Diego is going to struggle to get a shot, whether that is against Hamzah [Sheeraz], whether that is against Munguia, whether that is against Canelo Alvarez.
“You look at Canelo, if he beats Mbilli, and Diego is coming through and looking good; he will be 26 or 27-0, from Los Angeles, Mexican-American – he is a good contender for a Canelo Alvarez fight.”
Pacheco is set to headline the Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday, as he fights on home soil in California against the New York-born Immanuwel Aleem.
