Undisputed Vs Undisputed: Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Chalo gets confirmed

In a recent announcement, 32-year-old boxing sensation Canelo Alvarez has modified his opponent for the anticipated September 30 face-off in Las Vegas. The unified super middleweight champion will be facing off Jermell Charlo instead of Jermall Charlo, the undisputed super welterweight champion. This alteration reportedly came about after Jermall Charlo expressed the need for additional preparation time, given his two-year hiatus from the sport.

It is worth noting that Jermall Charlo currently holds the WBC middleweight title, which he successfully defended against Juan Macias Montiel in 2021. Meanwhile, Jermell Charlo will be stepping up in weight by 14 pounds to take on Alvarez, who is a pound-for-pound fighter ranked in the top 10, and the holder of the super middleweight championship at 168 pounds. As of now, the location for this highly-anticipated event remains undisclosed.
