Canelo vs. Charlo Preview
This fight marks the first time two undisputed champions of their respective weight class will take on each other inside the boxing ring.
Alvarez returned to action in May this year after hand surgery and defeated John Ryder to retain his undisputed super middleweight title.
He wanted to face Dmitry Bivol to avenge his defeat in May 2022 for the WBA Super Light Heavyweight Championship. However, a deal couldn’t take place with Bivol.
Canelo then called out WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo, and a discussion started for a fight on September 16, 2023. However, Jermall was dealing with injury and wasn’t able to fight.
His brother, undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo, agreed to fight Canelo in this super fight, which moved to September 30 to give Charlo proper time for preparation.
Coming to the fight, Canelo, who made his professional debut in 2005, has 59 wins, with 39 coming as knockout (66%). On the other hand, Jermall Charlo debuted in 2007 and has won 35 fights, 19 of which by knockout (54%).
Alvarez has won four of his previous five fights, two through knockout and two via unanimous decision. He has defeated the likes of Gennady Golovkin and Caleb Plant but lost to Dmitry Bivol in a different weight class. Moreover, he has won four of his past five fights via knockout.
Meanwhile, Canelo was undefeated for eight long years until he faced Dmitry Bivol in May last year. The Mexican fighter is known for his all-around skills, power, speed, and boxing IQ.
