The 41-year-old Erislandy Lara will be defending his WBA middleweight world title against another veteran superstar, Danny Garcia.
Here are all the three undercard fights for September 14:
- Erislandy Lara (c) vs. Danny Garcia: For WBA middleweight world title

- Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero vs. Manuel Jaimes

The Mexican superstar, who has a 61-2-2 record, is certainly giving the 27-year-old a lifetime opportunity. All of Canelo’s WBC, WBO, and WBA championship belts will be on the line. Now, it remains to be seen if Berlanga will be able to capitalize on his chance.
