Canelo Alvarez is coming home.

For the first time since 2011, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be fighting in his home country of Mexico. This time around, Canelo is putting his undisputed super middleweight title on the line against John Ryder in Guadalajara. The superstar has never lost a fight on home turf (33-0-1 in Mexico), and will no doubt be putting on a show for his home turf fans.

But Ryder — the current WBO interim super-middleweight champion — is far from a slouch, making this weekend’s fight an exciting one. Below, we’ve outlined how to watch Canelo vs. Ryder online, as well as key fight details like start time, odds, and undercard matches.

Canelo vs. Ryder Odds, Undercard

Canelo (58-2-2) is widely considered the greatest active super middleweight boxer in the world, so it’s no surprise that he’s the heavy favorite against Ryder (32-5). As of writing, oddsmakers are giving Canelo a moneyline of -1800 against Ryder’s +940.

But the undisputed champion acknowledges his opponent’s skill, saying, “In John Ryder, I’m facing a very competitive fighter.”

The respect goes the other way, too: “There’s no denying that Canelo is one of the greats,” said “The Gorilla” Ryder, “and I’ve got a lot of respect for what he’s achieved in the sport, but I fully believe this is my time to fulfill my dream of becoming a World champion.”

Besides Canelo vs. Ryder, we’ll get a few other exciting fights leading up to the main event, including a flyweight title fight between champion Julio Cesar Martinez and challenger Ronal Batista. Here’s the full Canelo vs. Ryder fight card:
