For the first time in boxing's four-belt era, two undisputed male champions are set to face off.

Undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo will jump up two weight classes to challenge undisputed super middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Alvarez has been one of the biggest stars in boxing for nearly his entire career, moving between weight classes and collecting world championships while staying more active than most of his contemporaries.

Some have become concerned over recent fights that Alvarez is on the back side of his career as he has been less impressive than normal.

Alvarez says Charlo never believed in his skills, and now he has the opportunity to show his skills.

Charlo has not been nearly as active as Alvarez but has proven himself as a great fighter and collected all four world championships at junior middleweight.

It's an intriguing bout featuring two of the best fighters in the world and it is set to go down at around 3 to 4 this afternoon in Las Vegas.

Charlo says he is coming to win this fight, no matter what Alvarez says.

He says if Alvarez's motivated to prove to him that he has skills, so be it, cos he is coming to win.
