Canelo Alarez vs Edgar Berlanga card: Who else is fighting this weekend?

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez puts the unified super-middleweight belts on the line on Mexican Independence weekend, facing Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas.

Alvarez typically fights at this time of year and on Cinco de Mayo weekend, and those dates brought wins over Jermell Charlo and Jaime Munguia over the last 12 months.

Alvarez, 34, beat both fighters on points, with some fans criticising his performances and his choice to face Berlanga next – as the Mexican opted against picking David Benavidez.

Still, the unbeaten Berlanga will aim to prove his worth here. The Puerto Rican, 27, has 17 knockouts from 22 wins and stopped Padraig McCrory last time out.
