The main event is a fight between super middleweight champions Canelo Alvarez (55-1, 37 KOs) and Billy Joe Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs). The two were originally scheduled to fight last May before the event was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was later rescheduled for September, but that too was called off when contract negotiations fell through.
Now, these two top-ranked boxers are finally going to meet fist-to-fist. Four belts are on the line for this headliner: Canelo holds the WBA Super, WBC, and The Ring super middleweight titles, while Saunders holds the WBO super middleweight belt. Barring an unlikely draw, the winner of this matchup will emerge as the undisputed world super middleweight champion.
