After 12 years away, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez finally returns to Mexico where he defends his undisputed super middleweight title against John Ryder.
Ryder is a clear underdog going into this fight and if he is able to topple Alvarez, his success will no doubt be the biggest win for a British boxer overseas.
For Alvarez, he will want to put on a show in front of his fans, but there will be eager eyes on his left hand and whether he will be the same fighter after having surgery on his wrist.
In addition to the fight being available to stream on DAZN, the event will also be broadcast on Sky channel 429 for fans in the UK and Ireland.
