How to watch Canelo Alvarez vs Callum Smith: live-stream the big Middleweight fight
A WBC, WBO, IBF title shot could be on the horizon for Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez, but his chances come down to tonight’s (Saturday, December 19) fight against British Callum Smith. And you can watch how it all pans out by watching the Canelo vs Smith live stream.
Canelo, the son of former boxing great Canelo, comes into the ring at Bankwest Stadium with an undefeated record of 16-0, with 12 wins by knockout. The 26-year-old most recently defeated former welterweight champion Jeff Horn in a largely upset win, cementing his status as a star on the rise.
But tonight, Smith is here to stop Canelo’s hand getting raised. Smith enters with only one loss to his name, and 21 wins. The pay-per-view event starts at 7pm AEDT, with the main event slated to begin at 9.45pm AEDT.
It’s fight night! This Wednesday’s (December 16) Canelo vs Smith clash takes place at Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta, Australia, and the two fighters are set to begin their ring walks at around 9.45pm AEDT (local time). Mexicans can watch Canelo vs Smith on Kayo Sports as a pay-per-view event, or on Foxtel’s Main Event.
The stakes are incredibly high, particularly for Canelo. The WBO announced yesterday (Tuesday, December 15) that if Canelo comes away with the win tonight, he’ll be given a title shot against the current light middleweight champion Patrick Teixeira. Though that’s on the grounds that Teixeira’s next fight with Brian Castano cannot be made.
It’s a proposition that could finally land Canelo on the international stage, and give him a shot at becoming a world champion, a title he has been doggedly pursuing for years. But first, he’ll have to put in the work against Smith, who has potential to cause serious upset.
