Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo will face each other at two press conferences in New York and Los Angeles on August 15th and 16th respectively.
The pre-fight build up begins, as the two prepare for their upcoming fight on September 30th, 2023, from the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.
Canelo will put his undisputed super-middleweight titles on the line, as Charlo jumps up two weight classes in an attempt to become undisputed in a second division.

And given the events that Showtime has put on this year, the build up will certainly drive up the interest in the fight.
The Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia fight, as well as the Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford bout showed this, with the two fights having the highest gates of this year.
And given that Canelo vs. Charlo will bring in the American-Mexican fan base, it is expected to do big numbers.
With that being said, the press conferences will take place as follows: at the Palladium Times Square, New York at 1:00 p.m. ET, on August 15th, 2023, and at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles at 11:30 p.m. ET, on August 16th, 2023.
