Fighter history
Alvarez (59-2, 39-0) will enter this bout having won his two most recent bouts. He has defeated Gennaddiy Golovkin and John Ryder in back-to-back fights but has not been impressive in either one. He suffered a loss to Dmitrii Bivol via unanimous decision in May 2022. The loss to Bivol was the first he had suffered since losing to Floyd Mayweather in 2013. Alvarez is currently the unanimous Super Middleweight champion. He will put that on the line this weekend.
Charlo (35-1, 19-0) will step into the ring for the first time this year. The last time we saw him, he defeated Brian Carlos Castano via KO. This was the second time in a row the two fought, with the first time being a split decision. His only loss came at the hands of Tony Harrison via unanimous decision back in December 2018. When he defeated Castano, he was the unanimous Super Welterweight champion.
