(Photos) Boxing: 108lb Boxer Suing Canelo Alvarez For $9 Million For Breaking His Jaw During Street Fight

Boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez is in the middle of a nasty lawsuit filed by another boxer who’s suing Canelo for $9 MILLION over a street fight in Mexico back in 2011.

According to TMZ Sports, the man behind the lawsuit is Ulises “Archie” Solis — a former IBF light flyweight champ — who claims Alvarez beat him up during an altercation in Guadalajara.

It’s not true at all. [The fight] wasn’t with me. It was with one of my brothers, but not with me. I was there. I just want to clarify that it’s not true,” Alvarez said via Boxing Scene.

According to Solis – Alvarez confronted him at a local running ground in Guadalajara, Mexico, where both of them were training. He says Alvarez accused him of messing around with his girlfriend, and then attacked him with multiple punches.

According to the suit, Alvarez punched Solis in the face so hard, he knocked out a tooth and fractured Solis’ jaw.

As a result, Solis claims he was stripped of his IBF championship belt because he couldn’t defend his title with a broken jaw.

Solis claims he was simply outsized in the fight, with Canelo coming in a 5’9″, 160 lbs and Solis at 5’3″, 108 lbs.

In his suit, Solis claims he suffered more than $4 million in damages, plus he wants another $5 million in punitives.

The trial proceedings have begun — jury selection started on Monday — and the trial could wrap by the end of the month.
