After Gennady Gorkin's win, Canelo Alvarez won five fights. Dmitry Bivol rematches and moves to HEAVYWEIGHT

CANELO ALVAREZ is finally free from the rivalry with Gennady Gorlovkin, which lasted almost half a century.

They first drew in 2017, before Canelo won by majority decision the rematch a year later.

Fans wanted a third installment because of the excitement and controversy that followed the results.

After four years of waiting Canelo won the Las Vegas title with 12 rounds.

The question now is, what's next for the Mexican star? Here are his options, as laid out by SunSport.

Dmitry Bivol

Canelo, 32 years old, entered his trilogy fight against Golovkin, 41, after a loss to WBA light-heavyweight champion Bivol.

He is now ready to end his revenge mission against Bivol, 31, after settling the matter with GGG.

He stated, "It's very crucial for my legacy, to me, my pride, to my country, and for my family for everything."

"It is very important, and I will beat him."

David Benavidez

Canelo, now at super-middleweight and undisputed king of the boxing world, has many opponents in line.

The Mexican-American Benavidez (24), has a 24-year-old streak of 23 knockouts in 26 wins.

Mike Tyson calls him the "Mexican Monster", and many believe he is Canelo's toughest challenge at 168lb.

Canelo had already accepted a DAZN two-fight agreement - against Bivol, GGG - but he declined a three-bout PBC package which included Benavidez.

Jermall Charlo

The 32-year-old Texan is the WBC champion at Middleweight, but has been hinting at a possible move to face Canelo.

PBC offered him as an option in the three-fight deal. His personality and unbeaten record were a plus for his fans.

Due to Texas's heavy Mexican presence, Canelo has headlined in Texas before.

Oleksandr Usyk

Canelo, 35-year-old heavyweight champion, and Usyk, 35-year old Heavyweight Champion, have opened the doors to an exceptional catchweight clash.

Ukraine's boxing legend said that he was willing to fight the sport's most famous star, who is 201lb and 1lb below the cruiserweight limit.

Canelo stated this month, "It's hard, but it's not that difficult. That kind of challenge is what I enjoy."

Although it is unlikely that the pair will fight again, it is not impossible to rule out an eventual fight.

Ilunga Makabu

Last year, Canelo submitted a request to the WBC for Makabu as his challenger.

He would have tried to become a FIVE-weight champion in the world.

Even though talks were abandoned, there is still the possibility of a fight.

Canelo would then attempt to join an elite group of legends.
