Canelo Alvarez and Sergiy Derevyanchenko are in talks about a potential fight on Sept. 14 at 168 pounds, sources told The Athletic's Mike Coppinger.

Alvarez's camp is also considering other opponents. However, a third matchup against Gennady Golovkin is not being discussed right now, according to Coppinger, who says that clash likely won't take place until early 2021.

Alvarez was scheduled to fight Billy Joe Saunders in a unification title bout on May 2 before it was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 29-year-old Alvarez hasn't fought since defeating Sergey Kovalev for the WBO light heavyweight title in November 2019.
