Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will fight fellow super middleweight Callum Smith for the WBA title on December 19 (early Sunday morning December 20 in the U.K.).
The pair have not been in the ring since 2019, when Alvarez successfully fought Sergey Kovalev last November for the WBO light heavyweight title.
Smith took on John Ryder that same month when Smith emerged victorious in a WBA super middleweight title fight on a unanimous points decision.
Alvarez said ahead of the fight: "I'm very happy to return to the ring and continue to make history.
"I am motivated to continue to be the best, and I look forward to fighting Callum Smith, who is one of the best at 168 lbs."
Liverpudlian 30-year-old Smith declared: "I have wanted a big fight since becoming world champion, so I am pleased that during these challenging times we can deliver to the fans a fight between the very best in the division.
"I truly believe I [will] beat him and will prove that 168 lbs is my division."
