Canelo Alvarez won Saturday’s fight against Gennady Golovkin by unanimous decision in Las Vegas, but he says he hurt his left wrist in the process.
He claims he first felt the pain during his November 2018 bout with Caleb Plant, and now he may be sidelined for up to a year as a result.
“It hurts everywhere,” he said .
“I’ve had these issues since the Caleb Plant fight so I was like, ‘It’s OK, later, later.’ And then I started [to feel] really bad, I need surgery. It was really bad, really bad.
“It’s not broken, it’s a meniscus, it’s a wrist injury, not broken. It’s ligaments, like a knee injury or something like that. … I’m going to take the time my body needs. Last year I fought four times in 11 months, so that’s why.
“But I need to take my time a little bit, maybe May, September. I need to take my time.”
