The stage is set for Canelo Alvarez, as it’s few more hours until he enters the ring against Callum Smith for the WBA and the vacant WBC super-middleweight titles. Along with Alvarez’s return, even the fans will return to the arena.
Following a long phase of COVID-19 protocols, boxing had to sacrifice live crowds. However, Matchroom is finally blessed to have a jam-packed attendance at San Antonio in Texas.
On August 22, Matchroom brought back boxing with Alexander Povetkin vs Dillian Whyte. Now, it’s time for them to re-integrate the fans into the live spectrum, with the P4P King’s return.

Eddie Hearn is excited about the upcoming thriller. Starting from the commentary box to the walkout route, everything appears ready for the big fight. It is no surprise, Matchroom CEO flexed the arrangements. As he took a tour around the entire stadium, he turned to social media to give netizens a glimpse of the pre-event stage.
In the video, Hearn said, “How we doing people. Here in San Antonio, ahead of Smith against Canelo. Check this s*** out. Oh, mate finally, finally. We got fans back baby, 12,000.”
He billed Alvarez as the pound-for-pound King and Smith as the best 168 pounder. Hearn is ready to see them go against each other inside the squared circle.
