EDDIE HEARN is ready to offer Canelo Alvarez a UK boxing debut at John Ryder’s beloved Arsenal.

Ryder became the WBO mandatory challenger for the Mexican superstar’s belt after beating Zach Parker.

Canelo Alvarez could make his UK boxing debut in 2023John Ryder is mandatory for Canelo Alvarez’s WBO beltCanelo wants to avenge his light-heavyweight loss to Dmitry Bivol next September but will return in a May fight beforehand.

And Hearn has already spoken to his trainer and manager Eddy Reynoso about doing so against Ryder.

The occasion will be so momentous that the promoter is ready to bring Canelo over to London for the first time at the Emirates.

He told iFL TV: “I’ve already text Eddy Reynoso saying, ‘He’s mandatory, let’s do it.’

“I think to have Canelo Alvarez in London would be unbelievable and Joh Ryder has paid his due.

“He’s just beaten Danny Jacobs, he’s just beat Zach Parker, he’s mandatory to Canelo Alvarez, let’s give Johnny Ryder that big fight.

“Maybe at the Emirates, he loves his Arsenal. Yeah, I think that fight could be next for Canelo Alvarez.”;

Canelo, 32, most recently beat Gennady Golovkin, 40, in their September trilogy bout which saw him return to super-middleweight.

He successfully defended his undisputed crown having lost to Russian Bivol, 31, up in weight.

Meanwhile Ryder, 34, won the WBO “interim”; super-middleweight title at the O2 after Parker, 28, was withdrawn after round four with a suspected broken hand.

Should Canelo vacate his title, the Londoner would be elevated to the full champion.
