"There isn't a lot in the gap between them". Hearn shared his opinion for the Canelo - Berlanga boat
Promoter Eddie Hearn shared his expectations for the fight between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga.
Details: The head of Matchroom described Berlanga's upcoming fight with "Canelo" as an offer that cannot be refused. Berlanga's promoter believes his fighter is ready to seize the opportunity.
Quote: "You never know if you are ready for a fighter like Saul Alvarez until you get in the ring. The problem is that he [Alvarez] is very elite. He [Berlanga] has a big heart. He has great belief, and he is ready to perform on September 14. It's Mexico against Puerto Rico.
The gap between the two fighters is not that big. Maybe Edgar could have fought Munguia or Mbilli, but they weren't available, and the fights happened. When you get an opportunity like a mandatory, you have to take it," Hearn told DAZN.
Recall: The fight between Alvarez and Berlanga will take place on September 14 in Las Vegas.
Notably, Mike Tyson has urged "Canelo" to finally face David Benavidez in a super middleweight bout, which fans around the world have been eagerly awaiting.
