Alvarez, Crawford Make Weight for Historic Super-Middleweight Title Bout in Las Vegas

News summary

The highly anticipated super middleweight boxing match between undisputed champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and challenger Terence Crawford is set for September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas. Crawford, a four-division champion moving up two weight classes to 168 pounds, aims to become the first fighter with undisputed titles in three divisions, weighing in at a career-high 75.9kg alongside Alvarez, who holds all four major belts in the super middleweight division. Despite being the underdog, Crawford's jump to this weight class marks a historic attempt, while Alvarez brings momentum from six consecutive wins at light heavyweight since his 2022 loss to Dmitry Bivol. The fight's promotion has been driven by Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season and UFC's Dana White, with the bout streamed globally on Netflix. The buildup included a tense ceremonial weigh-in with a notable staredown, and a brawl broke out in the stands during the official weigh-in, highlighting the bout's intense atmosphere. Both fighters and the promotional team have expressed confidence and excitement, marking the event as one of the biggest in recent boxing history.
