On March 8, Canelo Alvarez will face Alfredo Angulo in a Showtime pay-per-view main event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will also be available in movie theaters across the United States.

"March 8 will be a huge night for boxing, and as we team up with Fathom Events once again, fight fans in movie theaters around the United States will be able to experience the entire Canelo vs. Angulo event like they never have before," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.

"This will be my second fight that will be played in movie theaters and I am thrilled," said Canelo Alvarez. "The fans know that I always look to leave them satisfied with my performance in the ring and that's why I invite all of them to be part of a great experience by watching my fight against 'El Perro' Angulo on the big screen. I promise endless action from the first bell because when Mexican fighters get in the ring, fans are guaranteed a tremendous fight."

"My fans know that my hands speak louder than my words," said Alfredo Angulo. "For those who don't know me, this cinematic experience with Canelo on March 8 will help you see why these hands always guarantee a great show. Please sit back, enjoy and get ready for a great performance."
