Generational boxing talent Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez returns to the ring this weekend, making a scheduled defence of his undisputed super-middleweight championship against ranked challenger John Ryder of Great Britain.
Not only that, but for the first time in a long time Canelo will box in front of his friends, family and adoring fans in his native Mexico, in what he hopes will be a very triumphant Cinco de Mayo weekend homecoming against a stubborn veteran opponent.
The show airs live on DAZN, but if you're a resident of the United States or Canada, you'll need to order it via DAZN PPV.
Here's a rundown of how it works for existing subscribers, those who haven't signed up yet, and how it works if you live outside of the US/Canada.
Working with both existing partners and future partners to come, DAZN will offer select mega fights as Pay Per View add-on events. These occasional Pay Per View fights will be available to both existing and new DAZN subscribers in selected countries, live and on demand.
