(CNN Spanish) – Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez returned to defense at the end of the Mexican Independence season, defending one of the Campeonato Supermediano fighters’ belts.

On September 14, before Edgar Berlanga, he was a 27-year-old boxer who faced Puerto Rico with 22 wins and 17 losses.

Canelo Álvarez, about Berlanga: Siempre de todo peleador se aprende algo

The Retador Busca takes Canelo Álvarez back to the titles of the Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB), the Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) and the Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB). During the presentation of the fight on September 10 in Las Vegas, Berlanga said that he announced the Mexican fight in Sexto Asalto.

“While Canelo was equipping the team, they thought the answer was from him, from his father and from him who sent him to the sport,” Berlanga told Reuters. “Lo voy a noquear en el sexto asalto. ‘I’m so old, I dare,’ he said.

In the comments of Berlanga, Canelo responded: “He’s a good player. He’s very young, but it’s nothing new for me. He fought with all, with all styles; Greater than you, more youth than you, more animals than you. “Look at everything about the box, have gained a lot of experience and feel how you sleep at night.”

Canelo Álvarez started this match with a record of 61 wins (39 by nomination and nomination as technician), 2 speeches (decision before Floyd Mayweather in 2013 and Dmitry Bivol in 2022) and 2 empates followed by the CMB.

Without embargo, in July the Mexican boxer lost his undisputed status in the 168 ‘category by the announcement of the Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB), after leaving his club as rival to Berlanga, while his obligatory retador was the Cuban William Scull.

In his previous fight, Canelo decided to lose a one-way decision to Mexican Jaime Munguía on May 4, 2024.
