Canelo Alvarez fights on September 14th this day two weeks from now on the same night as a big UFC card.
This usually doesn’t happen and both sports tend to avoid one another clashing on the same night.
Alvarez continues to reportedly be close to selling out his Edgar Berlanga fight however at the T-Mobile with UFC still struggling in Las Vegas:
That’s huge for Canelo and the sport of boxing.
On such a popular weekend in September for Mexicans and general sports fans, it shows you how powerful boxing is when its big stars compete.
Berlanga is unbeaten with a knockout punch and brings his Puerto Rican heritage against Mexico’s Alvarez too, which is always a big selling point with the two country’s rivalry in boxing.
