How much money will Canelo Álvarez earn for his fight against John Ryder?
The Mexican fighter will return to the ring for the first time since September to face John Ryder on May 6, 2023, in the Estadio Akron, Guadalajara, Mexico.
After recovering from a hand injury sustained in his September 2018 victory over Gennady Golovkin, Saul Alvarez will fight the Brit John Ryder on Cinco de Mayo. Canelo’s next bout will be something more than routine. For the first time in almost a decade, he’ll be fighting in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico.
To further demonstrate that he is not in decline and can still fight the likes of Dmitry Bivol and David Benavidez, he will be willing to put his super middleweight belts, including the Ring Magazine belt, on the line.
Canelo is a big favorite to defeat Ryder on Saturday at Akron Stadium, but he is not taking his British opponent lightly.
