How to Watch Canelo vs Kovalev Live Stream, Canelo Alvarez vs Sergey Kovalev LIVE: WBC light heavyweights Boxing TV Channel. Middleweight
king Canelo Alvarez is to make a two-division jump in weight classes to
take on Russia’s WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev, it was
confirmed on Friday.
If the agreement is completed, DAZN will stream the bout, which will occur in Las Vegas. Per Coppinger, the current venue is unknown, but it won't be in T-Mobile Arena with the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights playing at home that evening.
Alvarez, who is ranked as BoxRec's top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, holds the WBA (super), WBC, The Ring and lineal middleweight titles. He'll have to jump two weight classes for this fight.
The 29-year-old holds a 52-1-2 professional record, with his only loss occurring against undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013.
Alvarez's last victory came against Daniel Jacobs via unanimous decision in a middleweight title fight on May 4.
The 36-year-old Kovalev sports a 34-3-1 record and most recently knocked out Anthony Yarde to retain his WBO and EBP light heavyweight titles on August 24.
A few experts provided their early takes on the fight, including boxing writer Adam Abramowitz and light heavyweight fighter Andre Ward (who beat Kovalev twice).
"But the only question is how is he gonna get through the reach consistently enough? And then, if he goes up to [175], how much weight is he gonna put on? Is he gonna try to bulk [up]? Is that gonna slow him down? Is he gonna be a target now? I've got more questions than answers right now, so I don't know. ... I can see him stopping Kovalev. If he can get inside and stay inside, it's gonna be a problem."
Kovalev is BoxRec's No. 11 pound-for-pound fighter.

Middleweight titleholder Alvarez (52-1-2, 35 KOs) has never fought at light heavyweight before.
Alvarez and Kovalev, 36, had been in negotiations earlier this year to fight in October, only for Kovalev to reject an offer from the Alvarez camp.
Alvarez meanwhile was stripped of his IBF belt after refusing to accept a fight against mandatory challenger Sergey Derevyanchenko.
“The second phase of my career is continuing just as we had planned, and that’s why we are continuing to make great fights to enter into the history books of boxing,” Alvarez told ESPN.
“That’s also why I’ve decided to jump two weight classes against one of the most feared champions of recent years.
“Kovalev is a dangerous puncher, and he’s naturally the bigger man, but that’s the kind of challenges and risks that I like to face
Oh wow, I didn't know Alvarez was the "face of boxing". Come on now, let's get real. Anyway, if this fight really happens I suspect something fishy will be in the outcome if Krusher gets the best of Alvarez! Everyone can't be protected forever.
