### Canelo Heats Up Fight With Berlanga
All preparations are set for the highly anticipated fight between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Edgar Berlanga on September 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bout, held during Mexico’s Independence celebrations, promises an electrifying night of boxing.
Canelo will put his three super middleweight titles on the line—titles from the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Organization (WBO), and World Boxing Council (WBC). With an outstanding record of 61-2-2, including 39 knockouts, Álvarez faces the unbeaten Berlanga, who boasts a 22-0 record with 17 knockouts.
In their first face-to-face meeting, the seasoned Álvarez, who defeated Jaime Munguía in May by decision, expressed his respect for Berlanga. “I’m not going to underestimate Berlanga. I know he’s a strong and young fighter. I’ll give my best in training to deliver a great show,” said Canelo.
Berlanga, a New York-raised Puerto Rican, is known for his explosive power, having secured his first 16 wins by first-round knockout. “I’ve always been underestimated, even as a world champion. When I debuted, no one wanted to sign me. It wasn’t until my first knockout win that I got signed. It’s the same now with Canelo—everyone’s talking trash, saying I’ll get knocked out. But I just need to stay humble,” stated Berlanga.
The fight rekindles the historic boxing rivalry between Mexico and Puerto Rico. “This will be a great fight for the fans. Mexico vs. Puerto Rico always delivers,” remarked Álvarez. The legendary clashes between Julio Cesar Chávez and Héctor “Macho” Camacho, and the more recent battles between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, exemplify the intensity and excitement of this rivalry.
