How to watch the Canelo vs. Kovalev fight
Saturday night's title bout between Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev will be streamed on DAZN in the US.
Canelo Alvarez is moving up two weight classes to fight Sergey Kovalev.
Unified middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is moving up two weight classes to take on Sergey Kovalev for the WBO light heavyweight championship. Canelo is putting on 15 pounds to fight the hard-hitting Kovalev in a bid for a world title in a fourth weight class. It's a huge jump in weight for the 29-year-old Mexican superstar, who most recently fought as a 160-pound middleweight, defeating Daniel Jones in May. The 36-year-old Kovalev, from Russia, is a natural 175-pound fighter and most recently defended his light heavyweight title with a TKO against Anthony Yarde in August.
