JAMES SLATER chats to Canelo Alvarez in this week’s special Scott Quigg v Carl Frampton issue of Boxing News magazine. This is out now on our app and the print version is in stores on Thursday (February 25). Here is an excerpt.

I do think Amir Khan is a dangerous fighter for me. He was a silver medallist at the [2004] Olympics and he is known for his fast hands and for his defensive style. But I know that his style and my style will match up well for an exciting fight on May 7. He has fast hands and also good, fast footwork. As we know, the boxers with that kind of style have been very successful in the sport over the years.
