If you can’t make it to “Sin City” to see Alvarez, boxing’s biggest star, taking on one of the best at 160 pounds, you can still watch the bout live and exclusively on DAZN.

The 28-year-old Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) is unbeaten in his last nine fights (9-0-1) since suffering the only blemish on his record to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September 2013. After two brutal wars with Gennady Golovkin, Alvarez moved up to super middleweight in December and plowed through Rocky Fielding in three rounds to capture the WBA belt and become a three-division world champion.

Meanwhile, Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) has rebounded in a big way after he lost the WBA title to Gennady Golovkin in March 2017 — a very narrow decision that many boxing pundits felt the “Miracle Man” won. He’s won three straight bouts, with the highlight of defeating Sergiy Derevyanchenko by split decision in October to win the IBF title. 

The sentiment is that Jacob, 32, will be one of the stiffest tests of Alvarez’s career, which is saying something, considering the Mexican star has been inside the ring two times with Golovkin and Mayweather.

Here’s a complete guide to the Canelo Alvarez vs. Daniel Jacobs fight, which is available exclusively for streaming on DAZN rather than traditional pay-per-view, along with updated betting odds, who’s on the undercard and more.
