SAUL ALVAREZ takes on Daniel Jacobs in a middleweight unification fight in Las Vegas this weekend.
Mexican sensation Canelo drops back down to 160lbs after dismantling Britain's Rocky Fielding in his last bout, where he became a three-weight world champion.
Following on from his two epic bouts with Gennady Golovkin, Alvarez (35-1-2) now holds the WBA (Super), WBC, The Ring, and lineal middleweight titles – and is coming after the IBF belt here.
Jacobs (35-2) is a very capable fighter and won the vacant strap against Serhiy Derevianchenko in October 2018, taking the fight by split-decision.
When is Canelo vs Jacobs?
THIS unification showdown is all set for Saturday, May 4.
It will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The main event is expected in the early hours of Sunday morning on this side of the Atlantic, with the ring walks around 5am UK time.
