Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo preview and fight card for tonight’s event
Canelo Alvarez is set for the third defense of his undisputed super middleweight championships tonight against Jermell Charlo this Saturday. In his past two appearances, Alvarez successfully defended against Gennady Golovkin and John Ryder. His next challenger was originally Jermall Charlo — the older brother of Jermell — but due to issues outside of the ring, Jermell was tapped to fill in instead. Charlo recently became the undisputed super welterweight champion with a tenth-round KO of Brian Castano. After more than a year away, the ‘Iron Man‘ returns and moves up two weight classes to challenge Alvarez.
