We wanted to set up a fight with Dmitry Bivol, but it doesn't look like that fight will happen. So Canelo will probably fight Charlo. When will the fight take place? I can't say for sure, but I think you'll see it in September.
Alvarez last stepped into the ring against John Ryder on May 7. That fight lasted the entire distance and ended in Saul's favor by a unanimous decision of the judges. He has 59 wins (39 by KO), two draws and two losses.
Charlo, the undisputed middleweight champion of the world, had his last fight against Brian Castano in May, 2022. That fight, which was stopped in the tenth round, ended in favor of Jermall by knockout. He has 35 wins (19 by knockout), one loss and one draw.
