Berlanga: "Canelo Must Win, and We'll Meet"

Puerto Rican super middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) stated that he will fight the undisputed champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) in September.

"I'm 100 percent sure. I know it's going to happen. He just has to win this weekend, and we'll definitely make it happen. I'm the mandatory challenger for Canelo's title in September, so I'm here, supporting the Mexican weekend, supporting the two main event fighters, and showing my face, man. I'm the mandatory challenger, I'm the Puerto Rican superstar, so I have to show my face. I have to come here, show my support, and try to make the fight happen in September.

Yes, I don't have a title—I'm the mandatory challenger. But you have to understand that I have a crazy fan base, and I know we'll get incredible numbers on PPV, and this fight will be in the history books. It's Mexico versus Puerto Rico. We'll definitely make some money," said Berlanga.

In February, Edgar Berlanga knocked out Padraig McCrory (18-1, 9 KOs).

Canelo Alvarez's next fight will be against fellow countryman Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) on the night of May 5th in Las Vegas, USA.
