The fight on December 19 in the USA of Saul Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs) and Callum Smith (27-0, 19 KOs) has been officially confirmed. At stake there will be the WBA super middleweight title and the belt of The Ring magazine.
The boxing night will be held at one of the major factories in Texas and will be shown around the world, except Mexico, on the DAZN platform. As such, Canelo is returning to DAZN for one fight following the recent termination of a long-term contract with the platform.
The last time both fighters competed last November. Alvarez knocked out Sergey Kovalev, and Smith defeated John Ryder on points.
For several months there were rumors about the possibility of a contract between the Mexican and the British. In the past few days, Caleb Plant and Billy Joe Saunders have also been named as contenders for the December duel with Canelo.
