In a recent impressive win against Padraig McCrory, Berlanga has captured the attention of the undisputed champion. The upcoming fight, scheduled around Mexico’s Independence Day, has heightened the anticipation due to the longstanding boxing rivalry between Mexico and Puerto Rico. 

Berlanga’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, emphasized the significance of this bout and expressed confidence in his fighter. Hearn remarked, “You never truly know if you’re prepared to face someone like Canelo until you’re in the ring with him.” However, he also expressed his belief that Berlanga is up to the challenge despite Canelo’s esteemed status in the sport.

The Mexican boxer has achieved multiple world championships across four weight classes, ranging from light middleweight to light heavyweight. He has secured unified titles in three of these weight classes and lineal titles in two. Notably, in 2021, Álvarez made history by becoming the first and only boxer to attain the undisputed champion title in the super middleweight category, a distinction he held until July 2024. Additionally, he has maintained the prestigious Ring magazine super middleweight title since 2020.

Camila Fernández will pay tribute to Mexico during the fight

One of Mexican music’s most iconic female representatives, ‘La Fernández’ reaches a new milestone in her career. On September 14, she will play a crucial role in the fight between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and American boxer Edgar Berlanga by being chosen to perform the Mexican National Anthem.

In addition to this honor, Camila Fernández will be the opening act for the show her father, Alejandro Fernández, will give at the MGM that same night. The next day, she will perform as the main act at the Independence Day celebration to be held at the Consulate in Sacramento, California.
