Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez would be willing to fight Conor McGregor in a boxing bout, according to the Mexican's trainer.
The Notorious has expressed his desire to go back to boxing after his 2017 fight with Floyd Mayweather and appeared to call out Canelo in a video posted online last month.
The four-weight champion's trainer Eddy Reynoso said although they would be interested in a boxing match with McGregor, they would not be willing to take him on in MMA.
He told Boxing Scene: "The reports are pure speculation because right now there is no news about anything, there are no fights.
"Boxing is a business. Saúl right now is the best fighter pound for pound and if McGregor jumps into boxing, then we are going to hit him.
"What we are not going to do is get into a cage [to fight McGregor]."
Prior to his UFC 249 win over Donald Cerrone in January, McGregor said he was looking at other boxing opportunities.
He told ESPN: "I would be open to other boxing bouts. We were actually close to signing [a deal with] Manny [Pacquiao].
"There's been talks about the fight with Manny. There was an offer made on that."
He added: "I'd like to box Paulie [Malignaggi] as well. Why not? That's a bit of buzz, Paulie in a boxing bout. I want to box again. I will box again. I want to get a boxing world title. A boxing title is something [I want]."
