‘Canelo’ Alvarez: Jorge Masvidal matchup would be good business, but ‘it’s not a challenge for me’

“Canelo” Alvarez doesn’t seem all that interested in a potential crossover fight with the UFC star Jorge Masvidal.

The multiple-weight boxing champion recently responded to Masvidal’s comments showing interest in a boxing bout between the two. Alvarez believes Masvidal (35–13 MMA, 12-6 UFC), a top contender in the UFC’s welterweight division, has no business competing in the sport of boxing.

“I say this with all respect: If I go into his sport, I have nothing to do there. And I think the same about boxing: If (MMA fighters) come into boxing, they have nothing to do here,” Alvarez told Little Giant Boxing. “But looking at it from a business standpoint, it is attractive, but it’s not a challenge for me, so it’s not my priority.”
