Canelo Álvarez vs Crawford: A Once-in-a-Generation Boxing Showdown Set to Make History

A Historic Clash of Boxing Titans

An unprecedented boxing match is set to take place between Mexican undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez and American former undisputed welterweight and light welterweight champion Terence Crawford for the undisputed super middleweight championship of the world.

The highly anticipated bout will occur on September 13, 2025, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be streamed worldwide on Netflix. The event will include two undercard events on September 10 and September 11 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Championship Legacy at Stake

Álvarez enters the fight as a four-division champion and two-time undisputed super middleweight champion, having held championships from light middleweight through light heavyweight. He holds the distinction of being the only boxer in history to hold the undisputed super middleweight title and remains undefeated in that weight class.

Crawford, also a four-division champion, has held titles from lightweight through light middleweight and was the undisputed champion at light welterweight and welterweight. A victory would make him the first male boxer to become a three-division undisputed champion in the ‘four-belt era’ and one of only six male fighters in history to capture titles in five divisions.

Historic Implications

Both fighters are ranked among the top ten pound-for-pound boxers globally, and this bout could determine who becomes the next #1 pound-for-pound fighter and the best boxer of this generation.

The stakes are heightened by the creation of exclusive championship belts for the winner, including a specially crafted Ring belt valued at over $188,000 – ‘the most expensive belt ever created’ – and the WBC’s ‘Nahui Huey Altepemeh’ commemorative belt.

A Testament to Boxing Excellence

In a remarkable testament to both fighters’ abilities, neither has ever been knocked down across a combined 765 rounds fought in their careers. The fight is scheduled as part of Mexican independence day weekend, a major celebration for Mexican combat sports, adding cultural significance to this historic matchup.
