Lance Pugmire provides a rundown of Canelo Alvarez's key Las Vegas fights

Since the age of 15, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has gradually fought his toughest potential opponents, and in the two defeats he has recorded from his 65 professional contests, lost partly because the two fights he agreed to – against Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol – were somewhat ill-advised.

With local Lamont Roach Jr. set to fight Feargal McCrory on Friday in Washington, D.C., the DMV is back in boxing's spotlight. Read a selection of some of the more notable fights staged in the area over the years.

Amir Khan believes Josh Taylor’s career will catch up with him on Saturday in his rematch with Jack Catterall. The long-term rivals finally fight again, at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, little over two years after one of the modern era’s most notorious scoring controversies ensured that Taylor was awarded a split-decision victory to retain his undisputed super-lightweight title on an evening in Glasgow on which the Scot was widely considered to have been outboxed.

RIYADH – Amir Khan fears Tyson Fury has come in too light for his undisputed heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk. The most significant heavyweight fight for 25 years will be contested on Saturday evening at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between Fury when he is at his lightest for five years, and Usyk after the Ukrainian weighed in at a career-heaviest.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez didn’t just grab the torch of boxing superstardom from his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya and his first professional conqueror Floyd Mayweather. He also inherited the Cinco de Mayo weekend headlining gig from them.

Kell Brook has again spoken of a possible return to the ring

Amir Khan has backed former UFC world heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou to have more success against Anthony Joshua than he did against Tyson Fury.

Former world champion welterweight Kell Brook spoke to William Hill’s Simon Jordan, explaining that he feels long-time rival Amir Khan “100 percent ducked” fighting him because of the pressure of facing a domestic rival.

Amir Khan isn’t enamored by the potential hurdles his former opponent and one-time stablemate Terence Crawford would face in a fight against Canelo Alvarez.
