Canelo Alvarez Faces Terence Crawford in September Super Fight

The highly anticipated super middleweight boxing match between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Terence Crawford is set for September 13, 2025, at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, with both fighters holding undisputed titles in multiple weight classes. Canelo, defending his undisputed super middleweight crown, acknowledges the fight's significant stakes for his legacy, considering it different and difficult due to Crawford's status as a smaller but unbeaten and highly skilled opponent. Promoter Eddie Hearn gives a slight edge to Crawford, citing concerns about how Canelo will handle Crawford’s size and power, while betting odds favor Canelo but recognize Crawford as a serious challenger capable of an upset. Despite Canelo's recent struggles, including a less dominant performance against William Scull, he remains the favorite with a strong knockout record, though his last stoppage victory was in 2021. Earlier in the year, Canelo turned down a previous fight offer against Crawford, but tensions between the two fighters have escalated, with UFC president Dana White intervening during a heated confrontation. The bout represents a legacy-defining moment for Crawford, moving up two weight divisions, and adds to Canelo's resume of Hall of Fame opponents, making it one of boxing’s biggest events of the generation.
