Mexican superstar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will defend his unified super-middleweight world titles against Edgar Berlanga on Saturday, 14 September in Las Vegas.
Four-weight world champion Alvarez, 34, is one of the sport’s most decorated active boxers with a record of 61 wins, two draws and two losses.
Berlanga, born in New York and of Puerto Rican heritage, has won all 22 of his pro fights.
“You have a young, unbeaten, fearless puncher ready to tackle one of the all-time greats – get ready for drama in Las Vegas,” Berlanga’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said.
The bout will take place at the T-Mobile Arena on Mexican Independence day weekend.
