It was officially announced today that Ultimate Fighting Championship super middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) will fight Edgar Berlanga (22- 0, 17 KOs) on September 14 at Boxing Night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Interestingly, the press release announcing the fight states that only three belts (WBC, WBO and WBA) will be on the line, meaning that Canelo likely forfeited the IBF title due to his refusal to make a mandatory defense against William Scull.
In the same event, Erislandy Lara (30-3, 18 KOs) and Danny Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs) will fight for the WBA middleweight title. The event will be streamed on Amazon Prime and DAZN.
