The last remaining piece of the puzzle for the super fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is set.
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host the Riyadh Season and TKO Group event on Sept. 13, it was announced on Tuesday.
The 65,000-seat multi-purpose stadium was originally set to host a college football game between the UNLV Rebels and Idaho State Bengals, but a deal has been struck for the boxing event to take over the date and venue.
The fight will be the venue’s first combat sports event since opening in 2020.
It was announced last week that the fight between the undisputed super middleweight champion Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) and Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) will stream on Netflix.
Press conferences are scheduled this weekend to promote it, with the first set for Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the second for Sunday in New York City at Fanatics Fest.
A third press conference is scheduled for June 27 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
