Errol Spence Jr. says Canelo alvarez has "got the chin" to be the first man to win undisputed two-weight champion

ERROL SPENCE JR believes Canelo alvarez has what it takes to be the undisputed champion of boxing at two weights.

Canelo, a Mexican fighter of 31 years, will make the leap to light heavyweight when facing Dmitry Bivol (WBA king) on May 7.

This comes just a year after Alvarez unified the 168lbs division, flattening Caleb Plant and becoming the first undisputed super-middleweight champion in history.

Spence, an undefeated southpaw, is certain that Canelo will be able to step up to light-heavyweight and repeat the feat.

DAZN was told by him: "I don’t know, I mean Canelo can do whatever he wants."

"He can, I believe he can. He seems to have the skills, it looks like he has the chin. I believe he can do this.
