The undisputed champion of Mexico, the conversation has turned to what is next for the Mexican star, who has won titles across FOUR divisions.

Canelo, 31, has also been granted free agency and will fight Plant again on Showtime pay per view. Plant was 29, who had fought on DAZN in six of his previous bouts.

Three of them had signed a short-term agreement with Hearn. Hearn will now be one among many offering his services to Alvarez's promotion next year.

He said to iFL TV, "We're going go to him and say, Here are our three to four options'."

"PBC will say, "Here are our three to four options," and someone else will probably put three to four options out.

"He will look at each deal and decide which one is best for him.

"I believe the GGG fight will be a huge fight and there will be an announcement very soon.

"He has a huge unification fight on the horizon. Canelo's GGG vs Canelo fight will be a huge fight.

He has enough money. It's not about who pays more, it's about what motivates him.

Canelo, 39, was able to draw with Golovkin in 2017, and won the rematch in contentious fashion one year later.

Since then, he has gained weight and won the WBO light-heavyweight championship in 2019 against Sergey Kovalev (39).

However, Canelo is now at super-middleweight while GGG remains at middleweight.

'UNDISPUTED AT 125 ASWELL'

Canelo warned Golovkin that he would have to reach super-middleweight in order to complete the trilogy.

Hearn believes that the No1 pound-for-pound fighter will be able to move back to light-heavyweight and challenge heavy-hitters Artur Beterbiev (36) and Bivol (30).

He stated, "I believe he can be undisputed at 175 also."

"You have Dimitry Bivol. I think he would be a favorite in that fight. Joe Smith Jr. and Beterbiev are an absolute all-out battle.

"Maybe he decides. But with Canelo it's about having a plan to face a new challenge. And maybe Golovkin does that. Or maybe not. Or maybe he just wants to keep going to 175.

"Maybe he wants [David] Benavidez to fight. He'll decide."
