Badou Jack says he turned down catchweight fight vs. Canelo Alvarez

WBC cruiserweight champion Badou Jack says he turned down a huge money fight against world super middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez because Alvarez insisted the fight take place at 180 pounds. Jack (pictured) tweeted: " I won’t be fighting Canelo next. They said the weight difference is too much, they wanted to drain the old man [me] and fight 20 pounds under the cruiserweight limit [of. 200 pounds] for the title. Plus [Canelo demanded] a rehydration clause. Canelo, let’s give the fans what they want to see and fight David Benavidez."
