After careful consideration after his contest with Canelo Alvarez last Saturday, Daniel Jacobs came to the conclusion that with his type of build, and the struggles he has had of late in making weight, that he will vacate the Middleweight ranks, and move up to the Super-Middleweight division.

.Considering that he was a big Middleweight, with good reach, height, and the ability to take a punch, that it was worth testing the new waters, as he had faced the best of the best in the division, ranging from Sergio Mora (2X) & Dmitry Pirog years ago, Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin, and now Canelo Alvarez, with respective performances in each fight, whether he won or lost. There are plenty viable options that he can work himself up to at 168, such as RING-MAGAZINE/WBA World Champon Callum Smith, IBF Titleholder Caleb Plant, and more. His venture up starts now.
