For the first time in over 11 years, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will fight on home soil.
Canelo (58-2-2 39 KOs) returns to his hometown of Guadalajara to face John Ryder (32-5 18 KOs) in a bout that will see the popular Mexican fighter defend his undisputed super-middleweight title.
Alvarez was last in action in Sept. 2022 when he successfully defended his belts against Gennadiy Golovkin in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, WBO mandatory challenger Ryder won the vacant WBO interim super-middleweight title in a Nov. 2022 bout against Zach Parker, and now the 34-year-old Brit prepares for the biggest fight of his career as he faces four-weight champion Canelo in front of an expected sell-out crowd in Mexico.
