Carlos Adames, interim middleweight champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), challenged Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and assured that He won’t run in the ring like other fighters have done. when they faced the Mexican.
In several posts on his X account (formerly Twitter), Adames expressed that his possible fight with Canelo Álvarez will keep the audience on their feet because of how exciting it will be and took the opportunity to criticize Jermall Charlo for avoiding a duel with him.
“No one in the boxing world is ready for this conversation: Nobody who stops to fight me has a good time, everyone runs in the ring, everyone. I told PBC that if I face Canelo, they should remove the chairs, no one is going to sit down. I will sign a contract: if I run, don’t pay me. Protecting fighters is like spoiling your children, many times parents who support and please their children in everything become spoiled, grow up with poor education and in the end do not develop emotionally. When they grow up they have problems in marriage, they break the laws and they don’t thank their parents for anything,” she wrote.
“The result of no one wanting to see Jermall with Canelo is that Jermall was spoiled, When Jermall saw how I riddled Montiel in four rounds, he got sick of everything and never wanted to face me. Now at 168 he also has no options or being a payday for Canelo. Charlo should have earned that space that fans demand of him today. Acting correctly, I would have destroyed him too and today Canelo would have to face me,” he added.
Despite the wish of Carlos Adames, Canelo Álvarez could be facing Jaime Munguía on May 4 in Las Vegas and Edgar Berlanga in September after his supposed separation from Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), so a fight with Caballo Bronco -as it is also known- might not happen in 2024.
It should be noted that the Dominican became interim WBC 160-pound champion in 2019 and Since then he has waited to unify the title with absolute monarch Jermall Charlo, who spent almost three years away from the ring due to mental health problems. In his last fight, Adames defeated Julian Williams by knockout in June 2023 and announced that he will soon give news about his next fight.
