Tonight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA, a boxing night awaits fans, featuring several intriguing bouts.

The main event of the evening will see unified super middleweight world champion, Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Álvarez, facing Puerto Rican challenger Edgar Berlanga.

Canelo Álvarez is one of the most prominent figures in boxing, having conquered four divisions: light middleweight, middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight. A former pound-for-pound king, two-time "Fighter of the Year" winner, and ex-undisputed champion of his division.

The Mexican has been in the ring since 2005. With 25 title fights under his belt, he has emerged victorious in 23 of them, with his only losses coming at the hands of the legendary Floyd Mayweather and light heavyweight Dmitry Bivol.

Edgar Berlanga, a rising prospect in the division, made an extraordinary start to his career by securing 16 consecutive first-round knockout victories. Having turned professional in 2016, the bout against Canelo will mark his first title challenge.

The co-main event will feature WBA middleweight world champion Erislandy Lara from Cuba against two-division champion Danny García from the USA.

Additionally, fans will witness a clash between former world champion Caleb Plant and fellow American Trevor McCumby for the vacant WBA interim super middleweight title. Another highlight will see knockout artist Rolando Romero, a former world champion at super lightweight, take on fellow American Manuel Jaimes.
