CHRIS EUBANK JR is ready for Canelo to fight in the UK, but first vows not to silence British rival Liam Williams.
Canelo, a Mexican star who has beaten seven English counterparts in his career, earned the nickname "Brit Basher".

The champion of four divisions was undisputed super-middleweight king, and even asked for a move to CRUISERWEIGHT.
Eubank Jr., 32, believes Canelo (31), is losing worthy competitors - which puts him in prime place to challenge the pound-for-pound champions in boxing.
Sky Sports reported that he said: "The fight will occur. It must happen. There are not enough guys for him to fight. Canelo must fight men that people are excited about.
He has said that he would like to fight in the UK. I would fight him in the UK. It must happen."
Canelo's last rival was 32-year-old great rival Billy Joe Saunders.
Callum Smith, 31 and brother Liam Smith, 33, Amir Khan 35, Rocky Fielding 34, Ryan Rhodes 45, Ryan Rhodes 40, and Matthew Hatton 40 have all fallen prey to Alvarez.

"His bread is to hunt men that run away. You must fight fire with fire. You must make him respect you. This is exactly what I would do.
"Let those hands move hard and fast!" He doesn't just end up teeing on you, against your ropes."
Eubank Jr. admitted that Canelo is his favorite fighter, but he prefers to campaign at middleweight.
Gennady, who is 39, remains his top priority, but Welshman Williams (29), will try to stop that Saturday in Cardiff.
Eubank Jr. said, "We are in his backyard. We feel strong and fit. I feel very motivated.
"I am a strong man and a role model for the sport. I want kids to look up to me and say, 'I want be like him.'
"Their parents want them be like me. Williams is not a good representative of the sport. He speaks and holds himself up poorly.
He needs to be taken out of boxing. He is in for a rude and serious awakening.
"He'll be outof his depth wherever the fight takes him. A fight, a boxing match and chess. I will be there all night to stop him.
"I don’t see this fight going twelve rounds. I want to punish him until either he is knocked out or quits.
