While being interviewed by the press, Errol Spence Jr. gave his opinion on a fight with Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez denied a fight with Spence Jr. at 164lbs, and instead proposed they do it at 168lbs, where he currently reigns as Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion.

When Spence Jr. was asked about his interest in a Canelo fight, he had this to say:

"I'm not worried about that. He can do what he wants to do. I don't have no thoughts on it. He can fight me and make 50 million."

The nonchalant Spence Jr. didn't seem too concerned about a fight with Canelo. It was reported that 'Cinnamon' is not interested in a fight with him either. After Canelo's loss against Dmitry Bivol, it is likely there will be a rematch. Failing that, Canelo will return to defend his belts and take on a trilogy match with Gennadiy Golovkin.

Spence Jr. recently posted this photo to his Instagram, congratulating Jermell Charlo on his win against Brian Castano:
