Terence Crawford’s Historic Quest: Challenging Canelo Alvarez for Super Middleweight Crown

A Legacy-Defining Moment

Terence Crawford, the American professional boxer who has held multiple world championships in four weight classes and made history as the first male boxer in the four-belt era to capture undisputed championships in two divisions (light welterweight and welterweight), is approaching another potential milestone in his career.

The Upcoming Super-Fight

The historic bout is scheduled for September 13, coinciding with Mexican Independence Day, where Crawford will challenge for Canelo’s super middleweight titles. This marks Crawford’s first venture into the 168-pound weight class. If successful, Crawford would become the first three-division undisputed boxing champion.

Recent Achievements and Current Form

Crawford enters this fight with an impeccable professional record of 41 wins, zero losses, and zero draws. His knockout ratio stands at an impressive 76%, having stopped 31 of his 41 opponents. His most recent victory came against Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024, where he won by unanimous decision in Los Angeles.

Business and Community Impact

Beyond the ring, Crawford maintains strong ties to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, where he operates two businesses. He runs the B&B Gym, a non-profit boxing academy helping young people aged 6-18 develop life skills, and The TBC Shop (The Bud Crawford Shop), which sells his merchandise and signed memorabilia.

The Challenge Ahead

The fight, dubbed “Once In A Lifetime,” will be the first Zuffa Boxing event promoted by UFC CEO Dana White under parent company TKO. The undercard features an interim super middleweight title fight between champion Christian M’billi and Lester Martinez, plus Callum Walsh vs. Fernando Vargas Jr. in a clash between rising prospects.
