Promoter Eddie Hearn is seeking a suitable opponent for Diego Pacheco to set the stage for a potential clash with super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. Following Pacheco’s recent victory over Maciej Sulecki, Hearn is keen on priming him for a major bout against Canelo.
Hearn has identified Jaime Munguia and Christian Mbilli as potential contenders for Pacheco’s next match. While Hearn is cautious not to rush Pacheco, he acknowledges the necessity of readiness when the chance to vie for a world title emerges.
If Pacheco decides to step up his game, Hearn has listed David Morrell, Mbilli, Munguia, or Osleys Iglesias as potential opponents to bridge the gap before facing Canelo.
Hearn underscores the importance of selecting opponents wisely to gradually elevate Pacheco’s skills before challenging someone of Canelo Alvarez’s caliber. He emphasizes the significance of time in narrowing the gap in levels and ensuring Pacheco’s full preparedness for a significant fight like that against Canelo.
