Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will defend his super-middleweight world titles against Jermell Charlo on September 30 in Las Vegas.
Canelo is the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO champion and it had been thought the Mexican would face Jermell’s twin brother Jermall next.
However, it is undisputed super-welterweight champion Jermell Charlo who will be moving up two weight divisions to face 32-year-old Canelo.
