Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford is locked in for September 13th in Las Vegas. The two pound-for-pound greats will go head-to-head in a Riyadh Season card that could end up as the fight of the year.

The past week has seen a flurry of information released about the fight, mainly through boxing's most powerful figure, Turki Alalshikh. Earlier today, Alalshikh confirmed that the fight will stream live on Netflix in addition to issuing an open call to up-and-coming fighters for a spot on the undercard.

Terence Crawford also took to social media today to issue his threat to Canelo, saying "you’re in my way… and I’m not leaving Vegas without that win." And Canelo has done the same, reminding Crawford and the world who boxing's top dog is.

He’s a great fighter. But he’s not Canelo.

Alvarez's last fight was a unanimous decision win against William Scull on May 3rd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The victory made Canelo the undisputed super middleweight champion for the second time in his career and pushed his professional record to 63-2-2 with 39 KOs.

Crawford, meanwhile, last fought Israil Madrimov, winning by unanimous decision in August 2024 to become the WBO interim super welterweight champion. His record stands unblemished at 41-0-0 with 31 knockout wins.
