Alan “Rey” Picasso is beginning a new chapter in his career with a clear goal: becoming a world champion at featherweight. The Mexican will make his debut as part of the Canelo Team against Maicol Rincón, in a fight that also represents an opportunity to continue building his path at 126 pounds. Picasso has stated that his intention is to establish himself in the division and eventually challenge for a world championship. The fight will take place on August 29 at Sala Urbana in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, Mexico, with the WBC Silver Featherweight Title on the line. The move comes after a learning experience in which Picasso faced some of the best names in world boxing. The fighter has particularly highlighted the experience gained from his bout against Naoya Inoue, a fight that, beyond the result, provided valuable lessons for this new stage of his career. Now, as part of the team led by Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Eddy Reynoso, Picasso will look to use that experience to give his career a new boost. His upcoming bout against Rincón will be a first step in that direction. Beyond the immediate result, the objective is clear: establish himself at 126 pounds and work his way toward a world title opportunity. Picasso already knows what it means to compete at the highest level. Now he looks to turn that experience into a new version of himself and take his career to the top of the featherweight division.
