Dana White: Canelo Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev ‘f*king nuts’ to go head-to-head against UFC 244

The night of Nov. 2 is shaping up as one of the biggest for combat sports in 2019.

Not only will Nate Diaz battle Jorge Masvidal to determine ‘the baddest motherf—ker in the game’ at UFC 244 in New York but Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will move up to face Sergey Kovalev in a light heavyweight boxing match from Las Vegas.

While exact broadcast details have not been revealed yet, it’s likely that Diaz vs. Masvidal will take place around the same time as Canelo will be stepping into the ring with Kovalev.
