Canelo Alvarez will defend his unified super middleweight crown when he faces challenger Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas this September. Alvarez is keen to mount another successful defense of his titles in what will be an exciting match-up.
The Mexican will fight for the first time since May, when he recorded a unanimous decision victory over Jaime Munguia to keep hold of his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight crowns.
But he faces a serious challenge in the shape of Berlanga, who arrives with not just an unbeaten record but also age, height, and reach on his side against the incumbent veteran.
A former US Youth National Champion, the Brooklyn fighter has not lost a bout since he turned professional in 2016, and his sixth-round victory over Padraig McCrory in February has helped set him up with a monster opportunity to make history in Nevada.

But just when and where can you watch it all unfold? Who else is set to be on the bill? What are the headline duo’s fight records? Let GOAL give you all the details as Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga prepare to go toe-to-toe in the ring this September.
