Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder preview
Canelo Alvarez will have the whole of Mexico behind him tonight, May 6, when he fights on home turf for the first time since 2011.
The undisputed super-middleweight champion, 32, will take on British rival John Ryder in Guadalajara, the high-altitude city where Alvarez was born, with his four title belts on the line.
The Mexican hasn't climbed into the ring since having surgery on his left wrist late last year, but he'll be more than ready for this bout at the 48,000-seater Estadio Akron, home of Liga MX football team C.D. Guadalajara.
John Ryder comes into the match-up on a four-fight unbeaten streak. The 34-year-old Brit hasn't fought for a world title since losing to Callum Smith in 2019, but he insists he's "not going over there for a holiday", and can look to Dmitry Bivol's defeat of Alvarez in May 2022 for inspiration.
The main card starts at 12am BST / 7pm ET. The main event ringwalks are expected at around 4am BST / 11pm ET.
