Canelo to Defend Titles Against Berlanga in Vegas

Canelo Alvarez, the unified super middleweight champion, is set to defend his titles against Edgar Berlanga on September 14, coinciding with Mexican Independence Day. Alvarez, with a storied career and only two losses, chose Berlanga, a young knockout artist, adding to the historic Mexico vs. Puerto Rico boxing rivalry. Despite Berlanga's impressive knockout record, many, including former champion Caleb Plant, doubt his ability to defeat the seasoned Alvarez. The fight, held at Las Vegas's T-Mobile Arena, promises high stakes and heightened tensions, underscored by heated pre-fight exchanges. Alvarez remains confident and motivated, aiming to showcase his enduring prowess against the less-experienced Berlanga.
