Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo fight card, start time, channel guide, betting odds

Typically Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fights in Las Vegas on the weekend during Mexican Independence Day. He's done so in 2022, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2013 and 2012 ... among others. If he's not figting, someone huge is. But in 2023 that all changed.

The UFC snagged the Sept. 16 date at T-Mobile Arena to host its first-ever Noche UFC event, essentially forcing boxing off the important date.

Alvarez will fight on Saturday, Sept. 30 from Las Vegas and will face light middleweight four-belt champion, Jermell Charlo.

Charlo will move up two weight classes to fight Alvarez.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo betting odds and prediction

According to DraftKings, Alvarez is the unsurprising favorite at -400, while Charlo is the underdog at +300. Most people aren't giving Charlo much of a chance, but famed boxing coach Eddie Roach is not one of those people.

“Canelo has had an outstanding career. And even though I had Gennadiy Golovkin winning their first two fights, I was impressed with the way Canelo fought him," Roach said (H/T Boxing Scene). "If Charlo was fighting the version of Canelo before he fought Golovkin, I would favor Canelo. But that’s not the case. This version of Canelo will not be able to handle Charlo.”
