Absolute world champion in super middleweight Saul Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) paid tribute to his next opponent - the holder of all titles in the first middle division Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs).
“You are one of the best fighters. You know that Jermell Charlo is a great fighter, the absolute champion in his weight class. He takes on challenges, just like me. I always take risks. We love to participate in such battles. Watch us on September 30th, it's going to be a big fight," Canelo said at the first pre-fight press conference.
