Canelo is on a four-fight win streak since 2022, beating Jaime Munguia in May. It took him eleven months to become the undisputed super middleweight champion. However, the future Hall of Famer will not defend the IBF title, as he will get stripped of it by fight night.

The top-ranked fighter in the WBA’s super middleweight rankings, Berlanga signed a multi-fight deal with Matchroom intending to face Canelo. The 27-year-old has 17 wins via knockout, his last fight being a knockout win in February against Padraig McCrory.

The fight is an opportunity Berlanga once dreamed about. He will look to make the most of it by beating the legendary Canelo and holding gold for the first time.

In the 11 years since he made his headlining pay-per-view debut against Floyd Mayweather, the fight capital of the world has been largely owned, from a boxing standpoint, by the commercial presence of Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez.

That trend will only continue on Saturday as Alvarez returns in yet another Mexican Independence Day weekend pay-per-view clash, this time at T-Mobile Arena, to defend his unified super middleweight crown and boldly go head-to-head with a historically unique UFC 306 on the other end of the world famous Las Vegas strip at The Sphere.

The only negative associated with Alvarez's high-profile return, at least from the standpoint of his critics, has been his choice of opponent. Edgar Berlanga, a 27-year-old unbeaten slugger, will enter as a sizeable betting underdog in the biggest fight of his career against Alvarez while more coveted matchups by fans -- from David Benavidez to Terence Crawford -- will need to wait.

The main hook of the fight's biggest selling point is that Alvarez, 34, will add another chapter to the celebrated boxing rivalry between Mexico and Puerto Rico (and the first since he edged out Hall-of-Famer Miguel Cotto in 2015) when he faces Berlanga, a native of Brooklyn, New York, who proudly leans on his family's heritage while courting attention from celebrities like rapper Fat Joe.

Whichever side of the court of public opinion you stand upon when it comes to his decision making, Alvarez remains confident and ready to put on another show, some four months removed from the dominant decision win against unbeaten Jaime Munguia during Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas.

Make no mistake, Berlanga possesses both the size and power to be a problem for Alvarez, particularly should the decorated champion take him lightly or get lured into a bit of a scrap early on. But, really, those scenarios would represent the extreme, best-case scenario for Berlanga and would require of him a certain level of smarts and craft that he has yet to put together in a single fight.

Until Alvarez shows up old in a big fight, it's hard to imagine that happening. Alvarez is not only so incredibly responsible defensively, and in terms of his head movement, he also owns one of the best chins in the history of the sport and has never been knocked down, even against power punchers like Golovkin, Danny Jacobs and the much larger Bivol.

If the same Alvarez from the Munguia fight just four months ago enters the ring on Saturday, the reality of what he can do as an efficient sharpshooter and counter puncher has all the makings to be way too much for Berlanga to handle.

For everything good you can say about Berlanga as an athlete or as a puncher, he's visibly lacking the kind of poise and adaptability necessary to succeed at this level. And should he fall behind and feel the need to aggressively rally against Alvarez, all it would probably do is speed up his exit from the fight.

Alvarez admitted this week that he carried Munguia for most of their May fight and purposely chose not to finish his Mexican countryman. But given the trash talk between he and Berlanga, that's a scenario that isn't as likely to take place.

The championship bout is scheduled for 12 rounds with Canelo’s (61-2-2, 39 KOs) unified WBC, WBO and WBA super middleweight belts on the line. Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) makes his first attempt to become champion. The IBF 168 lbs belt, previously held by former undisputed champion Alvarez, is now up for grabs on October 19 in Germany, where William Scull takes on Vladimir Shishkin.

In the 12-round co-feature, Erislandy Lara (30-3-3, 18 KOs) meets Danny “Swift” Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs). Cuban two-weight champion Lara defends his WBA middleweight title for the third time. Philadelphia’s two-division world champion Garcia makes his 160 lbs debut.

Among the Canelo vs Berlanga PPV undercard bouts, Nashville’s former champion Caleb Plant (22-2, 13 KOs) squares off against unbeaten contender Trevor McCumby (28-0, 21 KOs) of Yorkville, Illinois. The matchup is scheduled for 12 rounds with the interim WBA super middleweight title at stake.

Kicking off the action, former champion Rolando Romero (15-2, 13 KOs) goes through the ropes in front of his hometown crowd against Manuel Jaimes (16-1-1, 11 KOs) of San Jose, California. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds at super lightweight.

The Mexican is widely considered one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters ever, and he will put his WBC and WBO super-middleweight belts on the line here.

Canelo has lost just two professional bouts in his career and has claimed titles in four different weight classes, so opponents don't come much tougher.

After a shocking loss against Dmitry Bivol, Canelo has bounced back with four straight victories over Gennady Golovkin, John Ryder, Jermell Charlo and Jaime Munguia.

Of course, in such an important date, a huge question is who will sing the Mexican anthem. In recent years, there have been amazing choices like Danna Paola, Mijares, Peso Pluma and Beto Vega.

Camila Fernandez will sing the Mexican anthem in the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga. She is only 26-years old and is the daughter of a music star such as Alejandro Fernandez.

Fernandez was born in Guadalajara raised in one of the most famous families related to Regional Mexican genre. Her grandfather Vicente Fernandez is a legend in the country as the best exponent of Mariachi.
