The boxing world holds its breath. In just hours, inside a sold-out Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, two of the sport’s pound-for-pound kings will collide in a fight that promises to reshape the landscape of boxing. Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez puts his undisputed super-middleweight crown on the line against the undefeated, multi-division champion Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford. And in a groundbreaking move, the world will watch not on pay-per-view, but live on Netflix.
What is at Stake in This Fight?
The stakes could not be higher. For Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs), a victory solidifies his reign as the face of boxing and adds another legendary chapter to his Hall of Fame career. He defends his WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, and IBF super-middleweight titles—all four belts.
For Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), this is a shot at immortality. A win would make him the first male boxer in history to become an undisputed champion in three different weight classes. It would be an unprecedented accomplishment to leap up three weight classes and defeat Canelo, who has already dominated the light-welterweight and welterweight divisions.
Did Both Fighters Make Weight Successfully?
The final hurdle before the fight is cleared. As per the official weigh-in, both fighters hit the mark perfectly. Canelo and Crawford each weighed in at 167.5 pounds, safely under the 168-pound super-middleweight limit. The stage is officially set.
