Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga titles at stake

Canelo Alvarez is no longer the undisputed super-middleweight king after the Mexican failed to satisfy the IBF’s necessary defense criteria.

The 34-year-old still holds the WBC, WBA, WBO and The Rings 168-pound class belts and all four of those titles will be on the line against Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas. 

The American-born fighter gets his first crack at an elite-level belt, having previously held the WBO NABO super-middleweight strap. 

Canelo Alvarez record

Canelo Alvarez is one of boxing’s all-time greats, with a professional record of 62-2-2 (39 KOs). 

The legendary Floyd Mayweather is one of only two fighters to have beaten the Mexican, with the other loss coming when Canelo stepped up to light-heavyweight to tackle Dmitry Bivol. 

The 34-year-old is the former undisputed super-middleweight champion and Billy Joe Saunders, Callum Smith, Sergey Kovalev, Amir Khan, Liam Smith, Caleb Plant, Miguel Cotto and Gennady Golovkin are just a few of the boxers to fall at the gloves of the Mexican.

Canelo arrives on a four-fight winning streak, having beaten Golovkin, Ryder, Jermell Charlo and Jaime Munguia.

Edgar Berlanga record

Edgar Berlanga brings an unblemished record of 22-0 (17 KOs) to Las Vegas. The American has good wins over Padraig McCrory, Steve Rolls and Jason Quigley on his card, but a clash with Canelo rates a huge step up in ability and occasion for the Chosen One.

The 27-year-old has earned a first crack at a world title, having previously held the WBO NABO super-middleweight belt and it will be interesting to see if Berlanga is good enough to bridge the gap.
