The highly anticipated boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is set for September 13 in Las Vegas, moving away from initial speculation about a Saudi Arabia venue. This fight for the unified super middleweight championship is part of Alvarez’s significant $400 million deal, which includes a minimum of four fights with Riyadh Season. Although one of these fights may occur elsewhere, Vegas remains Alvarez’s primary boxing hub.
Riyadh Season is collaborating with UFC CEO Dana White to promote this event, marking his debut in boxing promotion. White expressed his excitement, stating, “Are you kidding me? It’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime fight.” Alvarez, boasting a record of 63 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, unified the super middleweight division by defeating William Scull in May. Crawford, with an impeccable record of 41 wins and 0 losses, was present at that fight, and the two champions announced their upcoming showdown in the ring.
Alvarez is eager to prove his status as the best pound-for-pound fighter, declaring his readiness for the fight. In contrast, Crawford emphasized his undefeated record, asserting, “I am the best fighter in the world.”
As the boxing community looks forward to September 13, excitement builds for what many anticipate to be a historic matchup between two of the sport’s most elite competitors. With both fighters bringing their unique strengths and a passionate fan base, this event promises to be a landmark occasion in boxing history.
