Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders purses: How much will fighters earn?
Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders go toe-to-toe tonight in Texas but how much will the fighters earn?
Boxing: Saunders says Canelo ring issue has been solved
Canelo Alvarez has the grit between his teeth as he looks to add another belt to his ever-growing collection when he takes on Billy Joe Saunders tonight. The Brit has certainly rattled the Mexican's cage this week ahead of the main event at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Canelo claims he's set to inflict punishment for "four years of insults" from his opposite number.
This fight has been a long time in the making and was set to land this time last year on Cinco de Mayo day.
Now Saunders will finally get his shot at glory when he dares to be great against arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
