Canelo Alvarez returns to the ring on Saturday night, when he will take on fellow Mexican boxer Jaime Munguia in a highly anticipated event. Alvarez last fought in September, when he defeated Jermell Charlo by unanimous decision. Munguia's last bout came a few months ago in January, when he knocked out John Ryder.
The two have been very respectful throughout fight week, although Canelo's long-standing bitterness with Munguia's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, finally came to a head at an explosive press conference.
Alvarez and Munguia will square off at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. The event will begin at 8:00pm ET / 5:00pm PT and will be shown on DAZN PPV and PBC PPV via Prime Video.
Canelo Alvarez vs Jaime Munguia LIVE: Don't miss a single moment of the highly anticipated fight
Update narrationCanelo Alvarez comes into this fight with an incredible 60-2-2 record. Following a loss to Dmitry Bivol in May of 2022, Alvarez returned to his natural weight and rattled off three straight victories in which he defended his undisputed titles. His three opponents were Gennady Golovkin, John Ryder and Jermell Charlo.
Jaime Munguia will enter the ring with a spotless 43-0 record. The 27-year-old has long been on the verge of stardom, but he hasn't quite fought top fighters. His biggest wins of the past few years have come against Ryder, Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Gabriel Rosado.

- Mario Barrios (C) vs. Fabian Maidana: WBC interim world welterweight
- Brandon Figueroa (C) vs. Jessie Magdaleno: WBC interim world featherweight
