Okay, so I’ve been following boxing for a while now, and one name that always comes up is Canelo Alvarez. He’s like the king of the ring these days, right? So, naturally, I got curious about when his next fight is. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see this guy in action?
I started my quest by hitting up the usual spots on the internet. You know, the big sports websites, boxing news sites, and all that. I figured they’d have the latest info on Canelo’s schedule.
Digging for Information
- First, I checked out a few boxing news sites. I found a bunch of articles talking about Canelo’s past fights, his achievements, and all that good stuff. But not many were clear on the next fight details.
- Then, I thought, “Let’s go to the source!” So I tried to find Canelo’s official website or maybe a promoter’s page, but the information was scattered and hard to pin down.
- Social media was my next stop. I scrolled through Twitter and Instagram, looking for posts from Canelo himself, his team, or any of the big boxing promoters. I did see some buzz, some rumors, but nothing concrete about an opponent or date.
Piecing the Puzzle
After a bit of searching, I started to piece things together. It looks like Canelo’s next fight is going to be against Edgar Berlanga. Yeah, I hadn’t heard much about him either, but apparently, he’s the WBA mandatory challenger. That means Canelo has to fight him to keep his title. Sounds serious, huh?
I also found out that this fight is going to be a big deal because it continues some kind of rivalry between Mexican and Puerto Rican fighters. I’m not super familiar with the history there, but it seems like a big deal to a lot of boxing fans.
The When and Where
Now, for the important stuff – when and where is this fight happening? From what I gathered, it’s supposed to go down at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Pretty standard for a big fight like this. As for the exact date, it looks like it will happen on Saturday night, but I couldn’t find the precise date. One article mentioned June 18th, but it seems that date is incorrect. I did see that the undercard fights will start around 8 p.m. ET, and Canelo’s fight should be around 11 p.m. ET. So, we’ll have to stay tuned for the confirmed date.
The Money Talk
One thing I found out while doing this little research project is how much these guys make. Canelo, man, he’s rolling in it! Apparently, he makes tens of millions of dollars per fight. For the big ones, he usually gets around $10 to $20 million guaranteed, and then he gets a cut of the pay-per-view money and sponsorships and stuff. Crazy, right?
Past Battles
I also learned that Canelo has only lost twice in his entire career. Some guy named Floyd Mayweather beat him back in 2013, and then Dmitry Bivol got him more recently. Before the Mayweather fight, Canelo was undefeated, except for one tie way back in 2006. This guy is a beast!
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, that’s what I found out about Canelo’s next fight. It’s going to be a big one against Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas. I’m definitely going to keep an eye out for the exact date and try to catch the fight. It should be a good one!
