Canelo Alvarez to Face Edgar Berlanga on Sept. 14

Edgar Berlanga is set to face Canelo Alvarez for the unified WBC, WBA, and WBO super middleweight titles on September 14 at the T-Mobile Arena, promising to offer the toughest challenge of Alvarez's career. Berlanga expressed confidence in leveraging his reach advantage while acknowledging Canelo's formidable strengths, despite finding Canelo’s recent mocking antics disrespectful. Meanwhile, Alvarez is also navigating competition from a rival UFC event scheduled for the same night, emphasizing his desire to fight on significant dates for his fans. Post-fight, Alvarez is open to facing Terence Crawford, viewing him as an 'easy' opponent, provided the financial terms are favorable. Despite the WBO's order for Crawford to fight Sebastian Fundora, Alvarez believes Crawford's recent performances indicate he may struggle at higher weights, especially against elite fighters like himself. Crawford's potential move to 168 pounds raises questions about his competitiveness against Alvarez, as many believe he lacks the physicality needed for such a challenge.
