Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Canelo Alvarez has vacated his WBA ‘regular’ super middleweight title.

Hearn revealed on Friday that WBA ‘Gold’ 168-lb champion Lennox Allen (22-0-1) will be fighting for the aforementioned title with John Ryder (28-5) set to go head-to-head with him for the belt.

Alvarez, who is also a reigning middleweight and light heavyweight world belt holder, knocked out Sergey Kovalev to win the WBO light heavyweight title in his last bout on November 2 at the MGM Grand – but never defended the belt.

Canelo produced a devastating display to knock out Englishman Rocky Fielding inside three rounds to win the secondary title in his New York City debut at Madison Square Garden last December.
