Roy Jones Jr Names Boxing's 'New Canelo'

Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. has named his pick for the 'new face of boxing,' succeeding Canelo Álvarez, who is now 36 and considered past his prime. Jones made the declaration on the All the Smoke Boxing podcast, with Ryan Garcia emerging as the fighter identified to fill the star power vacuum. The announcement comes as 2026 marks the first year in five that Canelo will not fight on either Cinco De Mayo or Mexican Independence Day, signaling a possible wind-down of his career.
