Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will attempt to become a five-division boxing champion after the WBC approved his request to move up two weight categories to challenge for their cruiserweight title.
The Mexican, who's considered the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, will face Ilunga Makabu in May or June.
Canelo has enjoyed a remarkable year.
He dethroned three unbeaten super-middleweight champions to become undisputed.
