Boxing fans, buckle up—the countdown is on!
In just ten days, the world will witness one of the most electrifying clashes in recent memory as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez puts his undisputed super middleweight crown on the line against the pound-for-pound technician, Terence “Bud” Crawford. The showdown takes place on Saturday, September 13, inside the massive Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs)
Already a living legend, Canelo enters the ring carrying the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF titles at 168 pounds. Known for his explosive power and iron chin, the Mexican superstar is fresh off another dominant performance—outpointing William Scull in Riyadh to solidify his status as the division’s king. At 34, he’s looking to add yet another monumental victory to his Hall-of-Fame résumé.

Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs)
Across the ring stands an unbeaten warrior whose boxing IQ is second to none. Crawford has conquered four weight divisions, and now, he’s daring to jump two weight classes for the biggest challenge of his career. Fresh off a clinical win over Israil Madrimov last year, the Omaha native is determined to prove that skill and precision can outshine size and brute strength.
