Undisputed super middleweight world champion, Canelo Alvarez is set for his second professional walk of the year, with reports confirming a three-fight deal with PBC – beginning with a September 16. title defense against the returning former gold holder, Jermall Charlo.

Canelo, who currently rides a two-fight winning run, most recently turned in a unanimous decision win over British championship challenger, John Ryder back in May, returning to his native Mexico for a Zapopan event – retaining his super middleweight crowns.

As for Charlo, the identical twin brother of fellow boxing star, Jermell Charlo, has been sidelined from professional boxing since June of 2021, most recently turning in a unanimous decision win over Juan Macias Montiel to retain his then-WBC middleweight title.
