Middleweights Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KO’s) of Mexicao and Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (35-2, 29 KO’s) of the United States are in top form for their upcoming unification, which happens during the Cinco de Mayo weekend at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The fight will take place on Saturday May 4, 2019 and will be broadcast exclusively by DAZN.

Canelo will stake the middleweight tiles of the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association, while Jacobs will have his title from the International Boxing Federation on the line.

Both boxers passed the pre-weigh in, 30 days prior to this mega combat.

Pre-fight weigh-ins are taken at the 30, 14 and 7 day mark, prior to a fight recognized by the WBC. The sanctioning body requires them in order to prevent sudden dehydration that causes serious damage to boxers.

Demonstrating his discipline and commitment, Canelo was way under the 30-day mark, coming at 168.2 pounds, which is comfortably below the limit of 176 pounds as required by the WBC.

Jacobs was heavier, but still below the 30 day mark - coming in at 175.4-pounds.
