Canelo Alvarez vs Callum Smith: UK start time, live stream, TV channel and full undercard for massive world title fight


CANELO ALVAREZ and Callum Smith go head-to-head this weekend in a huge world title showdown.

Alvarez last beat Sergey Kovalev in his move up to light-heavyweight 13 months ago – but the coronavirus pandemic and a legal battle with former promoters Golden Boy has kept him out of the ring until now.
