Alvarez is the undisputed super middleweight champion, while Charlo is the undisputed super welterweight champion. So the enthralling contest is going to have an undisputed vs. undisputed clash ready for the fans. Currently, Alvarez is the reigning pound-for-pound king in boxing.

Although Charlo seems to be the underdog, many believe that Alvarez has gone a bit slow, so this fight is going to be a testament to his retention in the sport. So no boxing fanatic would want to miss this bout. Let us see when and where is it going to go down.

There’s not much time left for the ground-breaking spectacle when Alvarez and Charlo will raise their hands against each other at the opposite sides of the ring’s corner. The clock is ticking, and only a week’s time is left. The fight is scheduled for September 30, where all four super middleweight belts will be put on stake.

The date is a bit unusual for ‘Cinnamon’ as he usually schedules his fight around the weekend of September 15, to commemorate the Mexican Independence Day. But it was pushed a little further down the calendar this time.

The fight will happen at the second home of the Mexican boxer,  at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A lot of fights have been scheduled in this arena in the past. So, a crowd of 20,000 boxing fans can be expected during the fight. But, before going further into the fight details, let’s see how the fight really came about.

The Road to the Fight: Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo

It’s a great few months ahead for boxing, as the sport is going to garner some of the best title fights of the entire year. The rematch of Chantelle Cameron vs. Katie Taylor for all of the junior welterweight titles and the featherweight title defense of Leigh Wood against Josh Warrington. But before this, the collision of the two undisputed champions is going to take place.

Interestingly, at first, it was rumored that Canelo Alvarez would be facing Jermall Charlo, the older Charlo twin brother, for the first fight of his PBC’s three-fight deal. It also made sense, as Jermall just had to move up one weight class to face Alvarez. But the later announcement of Jermell Charlo being Alvarez’s first opponent in the PBC’s deal was a shock to a lot of fans. Since he was a super welterweight fighter before he took up this challenge.

So, now on September 30, the world will see Charlo with a two-and-a-half-inch reach advantage going against a veteran in the division, who’s had 63 fights before he’s even hit 35. Undoubtedly, the fight is going to answer a lot of questions for both of them. Let’s see how the fans would be able to stream the fight from their home.
