Canelo Alvarez is gearing up for his eighth defense of a super middleweight title as he prepares to face Edgar Berlanga on Saturday, Sept. 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The highly anticipated match will be available on Prime Video PPV at 8 p.m. ET.
Alvarez, with a record of 61-2-2 and 39 KOs, claimed his first super middleweight title by defeating Callum Smith in December 2020. He later solidified his position as the undisputed champion by overcoming Caleb Plant in November 2021. Despite successfully defending his title four times, Alvarez was stripped of the IBF belt in July after opting to face Berlanga instead of the IBF's No. 1 mandatory challenger, William Scull.
