Alvarez: "This fight is for the fans"

On the coming Saturday Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) will defend all four super middleweight belts against John Ryder (32-5, 18 KOs) in front of the native stands.

“It's nice to be back where people supported me from the very beginning of my career. Great things have happened in my life, so I'm going back to where it all started. This fight is for all these people. In boxing, you can't be sure of anything, so I'm not too confident either. Ryder is a dangerous southpaw who really has nothing to lose in this fight. He will come out hungry for success, but I am better than him, ”Canelo said.

“I don't feel any pressure. It is he who returns to his homeland years later and must win the hearts of Mexican fans. I'm going to do what I like the most," Ryder said in turn.
