Alvarez claimed the WBA (Super) title and the vacant WBC title back in December when he thoroughly dominated Callum Smith en route to a unanimous decision. He followed that performance by stopping Avni Yildirim in the third round of a mandatory title defense in February to set up the unification bout with the Brit.
Saunders is coming off of a unanimous decision victory over Martin Murray in December and will make his third defense of the WBO title against Alvarez.
