The fight was originally planned for May 2020, but one year later, it’s finally set to happen.
Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders have agreed to a deal for a super middleweight title unification bout on Cinco De Mayo weekend in the US, sources told The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger. The Mexican celebration falls on a Wednesday this year, so the bout could land on either May 1 or May 8. DAZN will stream the fight worldwide except in Mexico.
Alvarez first will stay busy with a title defense against mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim on Feb. 27 in Miami. Boxing’s top star is a heavy favorite in that fight, and as long as he wins and emerges without injury, he’ll turn around and meet Saunders in May.

Canelo Alvarez will defend his WBA ‘Super’, WBC and Ring Magazine Super Middleweight world titles against Avni Yildirim on February 27 in Miami on DAZN.
Canelo (54-1-2, 36 KOs) has signed a two-fight deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and will first tackle WBC mandatory Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs), before a potential clash with WBO champion, Billy Joe Saunders.
Alvarez, considered by consensus as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world, became unified champion with a dominant performance over Callum Smith in San Antonio in December and is anticipating a live-fight with the Turkish challenger.
