Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, has confirmed his next fight. He will defend his title against Edgar Berlanga, the WBA mandatory challenger, on September 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, as announced by Alvarez's promotional company on Thursday.

The Berlanga bout comes after a complicated situation involving the IBF, which had mandated a fight with their mandatory challenger, William Scull. The IBF had priority in the rotation of mandatories, leading to speculation that Alvarez might vacate the IBF title, potentially losing his undisputed champion status at 168 pounds. There was also the possibility that he would proceed with the Scull fight, which would have generated little interest compared to Alvarez's previous championship-level fights.
