Alvarez will face the Charlo twin that many did not expect in September
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's next fight is set, and as was rumored when Alvarez signed a three-fight deal with Premier Boxing Champions, it is with one of the Charlo twins, just not the twin many expected. Alvarez will defend his status as undisputed super middleweight champion against undisputed junior middleweight champ Jermell Charlo on Sept. 30 in Las Vegas, the promotion announced on Friday.
Initial reports after Alvarez signed with PBC were that he would face WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo. According to SI's Chris Mannix, Jermall is dealing with personal issues, leading Jermell to step up two weight classes for a crack at Alvarez's four world titles.
Alvarez announced the fight Friday afternoon on Twitter.
