Canelo has collected four victories (all via unanimous decision) since his upset loss to Dmitry Bivol in 2022, while Puerto Rico’s Berlanga is coming off a sixth-round TKO against Padraig McCrory to defend his WBO NABO Super Middleweight Title and has stopped 17 of the 22 opponents he’s faced.

The night’s co-main event features Erislandy Lara stepping into the ring to defend his WBA World Middleweight Title against Danny Garcia, who is returning to action for the first time since taking a majority decision over Jose Benavidez Jr. in July 2022.
