Canelo Alvarez Sends Blunt Message Ahead Of Jermell Charlo Title Fight

Canelo makes his statement clear.

Canelo Alvarez has something to say ahead of his next fight.

Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion of boxing, is set for action on September 30. He will collide with the undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. Canelo was initially set to meet Charlo's twin brother Jermall, but the WBC middleweight titleholder withdrew from the fight due to personal issues, per SI's Chris Mannix.

The action will be held inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It'll be a rare undisputed vs. undisputed boxing title fight. Charlo's gold will not be on the line, but all of Canelo's titles will be.

"Let me tell you one thing," Canelo said. "I don't need to get ready because I'm always ready, motherf******."

Canelo is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Ryder back in May. While the Mexican legend clearly won the fight, some believe he may have lost a step. 

While Canelo certainly has the size edge in his next outing, Charlo figures to be the fastest fighter Canelo has fought in quite some time. If Canelo has indeed declined, it'll be apparent early in the fight.
