Boxing’s highly anticipated match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is set to take place in Las Vegas on September 13, following speculation that the bout would be held in Saudi Arabia. This fight is for the unified super middleweight championship and is part of Alvarez’s reported $400 million deal for four fights with Riyadh Season, which allows one to take place elsewhere, solidifying Las Vegas as a key venue for Alvarez.
Riyadh Season is collaborating with UFC CEO Dana White to promote this event, marking White’s inaugural entry into boxing. Expressing his excitement, White remarked, “Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I’m going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? It’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime fight.”
Alvarez boasts a record of 63-2-2 and recently unified the super middleweight division by defeating William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh. Crawford, a four-division champion from Omaha, Nebraska, attended that bout and announced the upcoming fight in the ring with Alvarez. With a perfect record of 41-0, Crawford stated, “I’m ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.”
Alvarez echoed this sentiment, emphasizing his commitment to maintaining his status as the pinnacle of boxing, while Crawford asserted his confidence, declaring, “My perfect record speaks for itself… I have always come out on top. On September 13, my hand will be raised once again as the world watches greatness.” This match promises to be a defining moment in each fighter’s career and a marquee event for boxing fans worldwide.
