Hearn on the Canelo vs. Berlanga Fight: "Let's Make It Happen in 2024"

In a tweet from the DAZN Boxing Twitter account, Eddie Hearn shared his excitement over Edgar Berlanga's (22-0, 17 KOs) victory over Padraig McCrory (18-1, 9 KOs), as well as commented on the potential match-up between Edgar and Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs).

"An incredible night in Orlando. This was a statement from Edgar Berlanga. Number 1 in the super middleweight division, ready to challenge Canelo Álvarez. Mexico vs. Puerto Rico. Let's make it happen in 2024," said Hearn.

As a reminder, on the night of February 25th, Berlanga knocked out McCrory in the 6th round, after which McCrory found himself on the floor, leading his team to throw in the towel and withdraw the Irish fighter from the match.

Recently, Saúl announced plans to return to the ring on May 4th in Las Vegas, but the name of the future opponent remains a secret.
