LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 29: Undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez of Mexico and Jermell Charlo face off during their weigh-in at Toshiba Plaza on September 29, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Alvarez will defend his titles against Charlo at T-Mobile Arena on September 30 in Las Vegas. AFPPIX: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Jermell Charlo both weighed in at 167.4 pounds on Friday ahead of their duel for Alvarez’s undisputed super middleweight world titles.
Both fighters looked relaxed and faced off without incident on the outdoor stage erected near the T-Mobile Arena, where a throng of fans jockeyed to capture images on their cellphones to the strains of mariachi music. “It’s time to fight,“ Charlo said, adding that he didn’t care that Alvarez had been the focus in the build-up to the bout.
Charlo, who boasts a record of 35-1-1 with 19 knockouts, will start as a clear underdog, but the 33-year-old from Louisiana has the speed and punching ability to cause problems for Alvarez -- who suffered a lopsided loss to Dmitri Bivol in a failed title bid at light heavyweight last year before underwhelming victories over Gennady Golovkin and John Ryder in his last two fights.
