Canelo Alvarez is coming off back-to-back wins over Gennady Golovkin and John Ryder in his recent outings. His attempt to extend his dominance in the light heavyweight division in May 2022 was thwarted by Dmitry Bivol, who retained the WBA (super) light heavyweight title via unanimous decision. This was Canelo’s first defeat since losing to Floyd Mayweather back in 2013.

Charlo is taking a huge step up in terms of weight class as well as competition in taking on Canelo Alvarez. If he manages to get the hand raised on September 30, it will be one of the biggest upsets in recent history.
