Canelo-Crawford Fight Shifts Promoters and Venue

The highly anticipated boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford has experienced major promotional changes, as Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh has removed Dana White and TKO Boxing in favor of Sela, a leading Saudi entertainment partner. The bout, originally set for September 12 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, is likely to take place on September 13, with possible venues now including Los Angeles, New York, or Texas due to scheduling conflicts. This move underscores the increasing influence of Saudi promoters in international boxing. Canelo, coming off a lackluster win over William Scull, remains a favorite among some boxing legends like Manny Pacquiao, but public betting is trending towards Crawford. The clash is expected to coincide with Mexico's Independence Day celebrations, maintaining a tradition for Canelo's major fights. Final details regarding the broadcaster and venue have not yet been confirmed.
