Who are fighting in the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo event? Here's the full fight card
Below is the full Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo undercard.
The two champions will headline a Showtime pay-per-view card this Saturday night from Las Vegas. For his part, Canelo Alvarez is fresh off a unanimous decision win over John Ryder in May, later leaving Matchroom to sign a three-fight deal with PBC.
For the first fight on that new deal, he will face 'Iron Man' on Saturday night. However, while the main event promises to be exciting, there are other important undercard bouts. In the co-main event, Jesus Ramos will return to the boxing ring.
If you don't know that name now, you will shortly. The undefeated prospect is fresh off a knockout victory over Joseph Spencer earlier this summer. Now, Ramos will return to face longtime veteran Erickson Lubin, who is coming off a win over Luis Arias.
Also on the undercard is a battle of former champions Yordenis Ugas and Mario Barrios. '54 Milagros' is coming off a knockout loss to Errol Spence Jr. over a year ago, forcing him out of action due to an eye injury. He will now return to face former champion Barrios, who last defeated Jovanie Santiago in February.
Lastly, middleweight prospects Elijah Garcia and Armando Resendiz will open the main card. All of these fights will lead up to the main event, featuring Canelo Alvarez's clash with Jermell Charlo.
