Canelo Alvarez

“Thank you to Jermell for taking this fight. I’m very happy to be in this position and to be in big fights. Jermell is a great fighter who takes on big challenges just like I do. I always take risks.

“Jermell is a great fighter and this is a fight that’s been out there as a possibility for a long time. Now is the correct time for this fight.

“I’m gonna put everything into the ring. My experience, my power and my skills. It’s going to take everything to win this fight. It’s going to be a great night for the fans.

“It’s good that people are saying I’ve lost a step. It’s fine. I know why I didn’t look as good in my last two fights. I know why and I’m different now. I’m preparing now for a different type of fighter.

“I’m 100% focused on this fight. Then we’ll see what happens after. Everyone wants drama and for us to fight on this stage, but when two fighters are 100% focused like we are right now, it’s gonna make it a great fight in the ring.

“I have everything that he says he has as well. I have experience and I’ve been in this position a lot of times. That’s why we’re here. We’re going to find out if he’s got enough on September 30.

“I love being in these kinds of fights. Stay tuned on September 30 because this is gonna be a great night for boxing.”

Jermell Charlo

“This is a long time coming. Canelo and Eddy are legends in the game of boxing. They’ve put on great shows and I want to be the one that gets in there and takes it all away from them.

“Me and my brother Jermall have been putting on for boxing and it’s our time now. A lot of people are worried about the wrong things. When you want to win something this big, you have to risk it all.

“I just want to quiet my haters and doubters and turn non-believers into believers. I’ve watched a lot of great people in the sport of boxing and now I think this is the best moment for me to

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.

Canelo Alvarez has had a bit of an opponent shake-up, and will now be facing Jermell Charlo in September.

The Mexican superstar is fresh off his return opposite John Ryder in May. That bout was a return in more ways than one for Canelo Alvarez, as it was his first bout in Mexico in over a decade. In front of his home fans, the super-middleweight champion didn’t disappoint, defeating ‘The Gorilla’ by decision.

Following the victory, Canelo Alvarez called for a rematch with Dmitry Bivol. The two previously faced off last May, with the light-heavyweight champion scoring an upset decision win. With that in mind, Dmitry Bivol declined the rematch, especially after his foe’s team declined to raise his purse for the rematch.

With that in min

Australian boxer Tim Tszyu’s slated mega-fight with Jermell Charlo is officially off after the American opted to take on Mexican superstar Canelo Álvarez instead.

Charlo will move up two divisions to fight Álvarez for the undisputed super-middleweight crown in Las Vegas on 30 September.

That date is precisely the deadline the WBO had imposed for Tszyu and Charlo to square off for all four super-welterweight belts.

Tszyu and Charlo had initially been scheduled to fight on 29 January before Charlo reported two broken bones in his left hand last Christmas.

With Charlo moving up to challenge the so-called face of boxing, the WBO is expected to elevate the undefeated Tszyu from interim to full world champion.

But Saturday’s shock revelation is still a hammer blow to the Australian.

Tszyu had retained the interim title with a specta

Canelo Alvaez will now face Jermell Charlo — the twin brother of Jermall Charlo — on Sept. 30 in Las Vegas.

Alvarez announced the new matchup Friday on his social media accounts. The 32-year-old multi-belt champion was expected to face Jermall Charlo, but instead pivoted to meet Jermell Charlo, the undisputed super

Canelo Alvarez will face Jermall Charlo in the first of a three-fight deal Alvarez signed with PBC. The fight is targeted to be held in September and broadcast on Showtime PPV.

Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) is the WBC middleweight champion, but he hasn’t fought since a decision victory over Juan Macias Montiel in June 2021. He’ll move up in weight to challenge Alvarez for his undisputed super middleweight championship.

Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs), who defended his titles with a decision over John Ryder in Guadalajara, Mexico, in May, had said he wanted a rematch against Dmitry Bivol, who handed him the second loss of his career in May 2022 in a light heavyweight bout. Boxing fans have wanted Alvarez to face WBC interim champion David Benavidez, but Charlo got the chance.

How does Alvarez defeat a top fighter like Charlo? Can Charlo upset Alvarez after his long layoff? Is Benavidez next for Alvarez if he wins? How about a fight against Errol Spence Jr.?

Mike Coppinger and Ben Baby explain what the deal means, the chances for both fighters and what the future would hold if Alvarez wins.

Is Charlo the best option for Canelo for this fight? Why is he taking it?

Charlo makes sense for Alvarez’s second fight this year. The twin brother of junior middleweight undisputed champion Jermell Charlo, Jermall was one of two finalists for the Canelo sweepstakes over two years ago before boxing’s top star elected to face Bivol.

Bivol routed Alvarez. Charlo, meanwhile, hasn’t competed in two years, when he struggled with Juan Macias Montiel. Between the inactivity and Charlo’s personal

Super-middleweight boxing champion Canelo Alvarez is set to face Jermall Charlo on September 16th.

The Mexican superstar has been out of the ring since his May return against John Ryder. That was a return in more than one way for Canelo Alvarez, as it was his first bout in Mexico in over a decade. He didn’t disappoint fans, as he dominated ‘The Gorilla’ en route to a unanimous decision win.

Following the victory, the unified super-middleweight champion called out Dmitry Bivol. The two previously faced off last May, when Canelo Alvarez returned to light-heavyweight. Despite entering the fight a massive underdog, the Russian dominated, winning by unanimous decision. In recent weeks, Bivol has been less than thrilled at the prospect of a rematch, instead targeting Artur Beterbiev.
