Canelo takes on Billy Joe Saunders as he looks to become undisputed by the end of 2021.
A big crowd is expected at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas this Saturday night, as Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders meet in a Super Middleweight unification showdown.
WBC and WBA (Super) champion, Alvarez (55-1-2, KO37) needs little introduction, and will enjoy the support of a passionate pro Mexican crowd in Texas as he attempts to extend an unbeaten record stretching back well over seven years.
A professional from the age of just 15, Alvarez has established himself as the current pound-for-pound king of the sport.

Anthony Joshua successfully defended his WBA ‘Super’, IBF, WBO and IBO Heavyweight titles with a ninth round knockout victory over the Kubrat Pulev at SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday.
Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) and Pulev (28-2, 14 KOs) were set to collide at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June this year, but the pandemic sadly put paid to that spectacle.
Pulev (28-2, 14 KOs) awaited his foe on the balls of his feet ahead of the opening bell, and the pair were cagey and trying to establish their jabs early on, in what was an opening round devoid of action.
