Fight night preview: Canelo vs Charlo

Boxer-cum-Mexican-folk-hero Canelo looks to have silenced the doubters that emerged following his a defeat by Dmitry Bicol in May of last year. 

The 33-year-old comes into this fight aiming for a third title defence in a row after recovering from the Bicol loss with a win over old rival Gennady Golovkin last September and a points win over British fighter John Ryder in May.

Charlo, who has weighed in a a career-high 167.4 lbs (the same as Canelo), has meanwhile elected to move up two weight classes to face the Mexican instead of completing an ordered defence of his WBO championship against Tim Tszyu.

The 33-year-old American became undisputed champ at 154 lbs after a stunning TKO of Brian Castano back in May and is looking to push on.
