Canelo vs Berlanga: UK start time, ring walks, undercard, latest odds, prediction for boxing tonight

Canelo Alvarez tonight meets Edgar Berlanga inside a boxing ring.

The Mexican fighter is defending his WBC, WBA and WBO super-middleweight belts in Las Vegas and is a strong favourite to continue his run of four consecutive victories since losing to Dmitry Bivol in May 2022.

Canelo eased to a points victory over Jaime Munguia in May on Cinco de Mayo weekend and it would be a huge surprise not to see him end the year on the back of a 62nd professional win.

Berlanga is the WBA mandatory challenger and boasts a 22-0 record as a professional but is facing the challenge of having to upset one of boxing’s pound-for-pound kings in his first world title fight.
