Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Most boxing fans were looking forward to Badou Jack taking over Canelo Alvarez.

WBC Bridgerweight champion Lukasz Rozanski (15-0) will be entering the ring against Cruiserweight king Badou Jack (28-3-3) sometime in the late fall this year. The two will battle it out in Saudi Arabia. Badou Jack was a part of the conversations leading to who would be Canelo Alvarez\u2019s next opponent. However, \u2018The Ripper\u2019 excused himself from the fight as he would have to drop down to 180 pounds and grapple with a rehydration clause. The clause limits a fighter as to how much he can put on once weighed in. He spoke about the same in a tweet: \u201cI won\u2019t be fighting Canelo next. They said the weight difference is too much, they wanted to drain the old man and fight me 20 lbs under the cruiser weight limit for the title. Plus a rehydration clause. Canelo let\u2019s give the fans what they want to see and fight David Benavidez.\u201d<\/p>\n
