Senchenko-Alvarez Update

Sources close to the promoter of WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko (31-0, 20 KOs) of the Ukraine relayed the following statement upon them reading that they allegedly rejected a $500,000 offer to fight Mexico’s and Golden Boy Promoted Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KOs).

“Negotiations did fail for the fight but the reason was because we didnt like the conditions offered by Golden Boy Promotions. Its been alleged that Senchenko was offered $500,000 to defend his world title against Mexico’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KOs) but there was no such offer. That just just speculation.”
