Despite UFC 306’s massive takeover of The Sphere, Canelo Alvarez will be back in the ring later tonight (Sat., Sept. 14, 2024) from Las Vegas, Nevada, as the Mexican superstar defends his WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight titles against knockout artist Edgar Berlanga LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV).
As usual, Canelo is a massive betting favorite to take care of business and defend his super middleweight crown in fashion. It’s a little bit odd that boxing has decided to go up against Noche UFC on the same night in the same city, but Alvarez has $35 million reasons to sign the dotted line and try to produce more magic inside of the ring.
Luckily for boxing fans who have zero interest in watching UFC fights from inside The Sphere, the Alvarez vs. Berlanga fight card is absolutely stacked from bottom to top. Outside of Canelo’s main event takeover, the card will feature an anticipated showdown between WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara and former WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia. Not to mention a super middleweight clash pitting former titleholder Caleb Plant against undefeated Trevor McCumby.
In addition, a collection of “Prelims” undercard matchups will go down LIVE and FREE on YouTube starting at 6 p.m. ET. You can catch that early action in the above video player before switching over to DAZN PPV for the main card.
