Mexican boxing icon Canelo Alvarez will face Jermell Charlo in a highly anticipated showdown for the undisputed super middleweight championship. Charlo, who moved up two weight divisions for the fight, sees this as the moment he has been preparing for throughout his career. While Charlo wasn't the first choice for the fight, his inclusion adds more hype and history to the event, as it marks the first time two reigning four-belt undisputed champions will face off in men's boxing history. Both fighters are confident in their abilities, with Charlo emphasizing his size advantage and hunger, while Alvarez expects a more difficult fight. The outcome of the fight will have significant implications for both fighters' legacies and positions in the pound-for-pound rankings.
Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo both weighed in at 167.4 pounds ahead of their fight for Alvarez's four 168-pound titles. Charlo, the undisputed junior middleweight champion, moved up in weight for this opportunity after his twin brother, Jermall, was unable to compete. Alvarez expressed confidence in Charlo's ability to handle the weight and sees the extra pounds as an advantage for him. The fight will take place on Saturday in Las Vegas.
