When is Canelo vs Crawford? Date, fight time, undercard and how to watch

By
Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford

Later this year, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will box Terence Crawford in one of the biggest commercial fights in years.

Mexican icon Canelo defends all the major super-middleweight titles in Las Vegas, where he faces arguable pound-for-pound No 1 Crawford at Allegiant Stadium – home of the Raiders NFL team.

The unbeaten Crawford is a four-division world champion, having gradually worked his way from lightweight up to super-welterweight, yet this 167lb clash with Canelo will see him make a further, stark jump in weight.

If he succeeds against Canelo (63-2-2, 39 knockouts), the 37-year-old American (41-0, 31 KOs) will become boxing’s first three-weight undisputed champion. Meanwhile, 34-year-old Canelo is also a multi-weight champion, who recently regained undisputed status at super-middleweight, his preferred division in recent years.

While this is a somewhat contrived showdown from a weight perspective, it is perhaps the biggest boxing match since Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, 10 years ago – at least from the perspective of an American audience. It pits the face of boxing, in Canelo, against a man deemed by many as the finest boxer alive right now. Here’s all you need to know.

When is the fight?

Canelo vs Crawford will take place on Saturday 13 September at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Timings for the event have not yet been announced, but it’s likely that the main card will begin at 1am BST on Sunday (5pm PT / 7pm CT / 8pm ET on Saturday), with main-event ring walks following at 4am BST on Sunday (8pm PT / 10pm CT / 11pm ET on Saturday).

How can I watch it?

The event will stream live exclusively on Netflix around the world. It will be available to all Netflix subscribers globally, i.e. it will not be a pay-per-view event.

Odds

Canelo – 8/15

Crawford – 6/4

Draw – 16/1

A rival of ‘Canelo’ Alvarez regrets facing him and Terence Crawford must

A rival of ‘Canelo’ Alvarez regrets facing him and Terence Crawford must be trembling

The Mexican fighter is preparing to defend his undisputed super middleweight championship against Terence Crawford

Undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is one of the most successful athletes worldwide, where any opponent looking for a fight against the Mexican will know that it will be a good business in exchange for some blows for an hour of fighting. Originally from Guadalajara, he has faced great rivals and has dominated the 168-pound category since 2021.

It should be remembered that on May 3, the Mexican had his last fight, which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he faced William Scull for the unification of the four super middleweight titles. Alvarez put his three championships (WBC, WBA, WBO) on the line, while the Cuban put his International Boxing Federation (IBF) title on the line. With his unanimous decision victory, Canelo is the monarch of the four major organizations worldwide.

Who is the fighter who regretted taking a beating from Canelo?

In statements collected by The Ring, Jermall Charlo said that his brother, Jermell, told him that it was a mistake to move up in weight to fight Canelo. He also added that he did not understand why he did it and that it was very hard to watch that fight.

My brother was the one who fought Canelo, not me. He told me that his mistake was to think that moving up in weight meant getting bigger to beat Canelo. I didn’t understand why he did it. I wasn’t a fan of that decision. I didn’t like it. It was very hard to watch that fight. One of the hardest things I’ve ever been through, honestly

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford 

The Mexican and Jermell fought on September 30, 2023 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the Jalisco native won convincingly after defeating the American by unanimous decision. It was the moment when Canelo was the master of the category. However, there are those who claim that the Mexican puts his rivals in their place and convinces them with the large sum of money he has generated around him.

Canelo focused on his fight against Crawford

For now, Canelo is focused on his fight against Terence Crawford, which will take place on September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he will put his four super middleweight world titles on the line. This fight is one of the most anticipated in 2025, and has been dubbed “the fight of the century” because expectations are high, as both Saul and Bud Crawford have remained in the top 10 best fighters of the last decade.

However, the fight has also been criticized because of the weight difference between the two, as the undefeated boxer, Terence Crawford, will have to move up two divisions as Jermell Charlo did in 2023, from super welterweight to super middleweight.

Heartbreak And Hormones: Terence Crawford Opens Up About An Unexpected Pregnancy

Crawford’s chilling confession to the mother of his six children

Sometimes, where there’s love, there’s betrayal also. The American boxer reveals one of the most difficult things he had to confess.

Terence has held multiple world championships in four weight classes: lightweight, light middleweight, and undisputed championships at light welterweight and welterweight. He’s also the first male boxer in history to become the undisputed champion in two weight classes, the WBA light middleweight and WBO interim light middleweight titles, since 2024.

Despite having a successful boxing career, Terence has found himself in different circumstances of betraying the woman in his life. “Terence Crawford explains how he told the mother of his six children that he is having a newborn child with another woman,” said Pound for Pound on X video. In the video, the interviewer asked Terence to explain how he broke the news to the woman who bore him six children.

He tried to explain how difficult it was, yet it was very necessary to let her know. “Things happen…different circumstances… I’m just a man,” said Terence on an X video. He has been in a relationship with Alindra Person, a woman from his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, since the early 2000s; they have six children together. That makes him the father of seven children.

Since last year, Terence hasn’t fought since last year August; his last bout was against Israil Madrimov at the BMO Stadium, Los Angeles, California, in the U.S. He won in the 12th round via unanimous decision. In February 2025, it was announced that he is expected to clash with Canelo Alvarez; both had separate meetings with a Saudi Arabian-based boxing promoter, Turki, and had negotiations about personal terms. After the Canelo vs. William Scull fight, their fight was officially announced on May 3, 2025. The bout will be among the four fight deals that Alvarez signed with Riyadh Season. If everything goes well as planned, the fight will take place on September 13 and will stream live on Netflix.

Shane Mosley Reveals What Could Lead To Terence Crawford’s Downfall vs Canelo Alvarez

By
Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez

Shane Mosley breaks down Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford.

Terence Crawford will fight Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title in Las Vegas on September 13.

Alvarez is coming off a lackluster win against William Scull, who many believe danced around too much instead of trying to fight Canelo. Crawford, though, prefers to fight, as his record proves. He’s also jumping up two weight classes to make the fight happen.

Crawford is 41-0-0 with 31 knockouts and ‘Bud’ guarantees fireworks when he is in action. Shane Mosley, who lost Canelo Alvarez in 2012 via unanimous decision, thinks that could bring Crawford’s downfall. He thinks Crawford is a fighter at heart and against a bigger opponent like Canelo, that could be disastrous.

Mosley said:

I think Canelo is too big for Crawford. I think the reason why, if Crawford was a mover like the rest of them, then he could have a good chance against Canelo. I think Crawford is a fighter and that’s going to be dangerous. That’s gonna be a problem, he is a fighter. He wants to move a little bit, but his heart is not in moving. He is going to want to sit there with Canelo and fight him.

Mosley added:

If you sit there and fight with Canelo and he’s that much bigger than you, I don’t know. Everybody thinks Crawford is a great boxer, he’s this and that, which he is, he is a great fighter. He’s a great fighter at 140, 147, he seemed to be just good at 154. Now we’re going to 168.

How Terence Crawford reacts to getting hit by Canelo Alvarez could be a massive decider in the fight. Canelo is known for the thudding impact of his shots and at a higher weight class, that could be a challenge for ‘Bud’ to handle.

Gervonta Davis Sums Up Terence Crawford vs Canelo Fight In Just 4 Words

By
Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis

Terence Crawford could defy the odds once again when he faces Canelo Alvarez later this year.

The 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska will bid to become an undisputed champion in a third weight class when he locks horns with the Mexican superstar on Saturday September 13 in Las Vegas.

Simpson’s surprising post fight plans with opponent! | ‘There’s no reason for animosity’

‘Bud’ has already conquered the super-lightweight and welterweight divisions, becoming the first fighter in boxing history to accomplish this feat within the ‘four belt era’.

He made the move up to 154lbs last August to become a four-division world champion, dethroning WBA super-welterweight champion Israil Madrimov, albeit in an underwhelming performance from the American.

One man who has shared his thoughts on the upcoming mega-fight is WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, revealing to the media that he believes ‘Bud’ is only going ahead with the fight for financial gain.

“Crawford needs the money.

“I’m telling you … That’s why he says he don’t like me, cause I speak real s**t.”

The 30-year-old from Baltimore was then asked if he believes Crawford has what it takes to defeat Canelo, who will be the naturally bigger man on fight night.

“I ain’t trying to convince y’all that he can beat Canelo! He’s a good fighter, but… Bro, I would say smaller fighters are always better than bigger fighters cause they know how to move and things like that.”

Crawford will become the first male fighter in the history of boxing to become a three-weight undisputed champion should he prevail in September, but is faced with unquestionably the toughest test of his stellar career when he steps into the ring with the Mexican icon who has been a dominant force at 168lbs in recent years.

Mexican Legend Marco Antonio Barrera Predicts Canelo vs Terence Crawford: “He Didn’t Look Good”

By
Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford 

Mexican great Marco Antonio Barrera has shared his thoughts on the upcoming battle between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

It was confirmed last week that the pound-for-pound stars will lock horns on Saturday September 13 at an unconfirmed location in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Canelo will be defending his undisputed championship at 168lbs after he regained the crown on May 2 when he outpointed former IBF champion William Scull in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

‘Bud’ Crawford steps up two whole weight divisions to challenge the Mexican icon, having spent the majority of his glittering career campaigning at welterweight before he made his 154lb debut last August when he dethroned WBA champion Israil Madrimov.

In an interview with Boxing News, Barrera had his say on the significant weight discrepancy between Canelo and Crawford, which many feel will go massively against ‘Bud’ on fight night.

“I don’t know about the weight difference. We saw Crawford fight (Israil) Madrimov at 154 I believe. He did not look like he used to, so having to jump all those weight classes to fight Canelo. It’s going to be hard, but I’ll watch it. I’ll tune in.”

Barrera was then asked if he thinks Canelo will get a stoppage victory over Crawford, taking the size advantage into consideration.

“I don’t know if he’ll knock him out. We know Crawford has a good chin, but I do know that Canelo will most likely come out of this victorious.”

Victory for ‘Bud’ would see the 37-year-old from Omaha capture an undisputed championship in a third division, becoming the first fighter in boxing history to accomplish this feat.

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford will headline a September 13 Riyadh Season card live on Netflix to its 300 million subscribers. The entire event will take place in Las Vegas, with Allegiant Stadium – the likely landing spot for this super-fight. Derrick James has spoken to Fight Hub TV about the undisputed super middleweight showdown, revealing the key to victory.

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Set for September 13

Derrick James Breaks Down Canelo vs Crawford

Despite the announcement of the fight, some details remained unconfirmed, but Turki Alalshikh has since confirmed Netflix as the broadcaster of the event. At the same time, Alalshikh also confirmed Dana White’s involvement in this mega-fight.

Many in the boxing world have had their say on who will win Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford and respected trainer Derrick James has had now had his say when speaking to Fight Hub TV: “The thing about Crawford is he believes he’s on it. Like he believes he’s the one. So that’s the difference between him and any other fighters. The Canelo fight cuz Canelo people fight the idea of Canelo Alvarez opposed to fighting individual. The thought of him is what puts fear in their heart.

“But he doesn’t care about that cuz he now he’s Crawford. So it’s a totally different thing. So if he can implement his strategy and ride it out to the end of the fight, he’s going to be successful. But, if Canelo can do what he needs to do andhis timing has to be on point.”

“He’s not as fast as Crawford is. It’s all about timing.”

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford is steeped in legacy. Should Crawford win, he will become only the second boxer in the four-belt era to become undisputed in three weight classes. This unique feat was first achieved by the GWOAT, Claressa Shields, who defeated Danielle Perkins to obtain the vacant IBF and WBO heavyweight titles.

This undisputed bout is full of intrigue, and both have pressures to deal with. Crawford is moving up in weight and will be eager to prove his greatness, while Canelo will need to improve on his recent dire showing against William Scull.

Stay with Big Fight Weekend for the build-up, fight night and all the post-fight fallout.

Terence Crawford’s trainer responds to rumours of no rehydration clause

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford 

Terence Crawford’s trainer responds to rumours of no rehydration clause for Canelo Alvarez clash

Terence Crawford and Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre have been a very successful boxing duo since the Omaha fighter’s debut.

Bomac has trained ‘Bud’ since he first began boxing and has guided him to undisputed status in two weight divisions.

Now the 2023 Trainer of the Year has to devise a game plan to defeat super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez.

However, the added challenge for the 37-year-old fighter is the jump up in boxing weight classes.

His last fight was contested at 154 pounds in September, so with a year layoff he will have to add 14 pounds.

Bomac responds to no rehydration for Crawford vs Canelo

But weight is not an issue for the American, as he has reportedly asked for no rehydration restrictions.

Speaking to Boxing Social, Bomac responded to the rumours ahead of the Las Vegas clash.

He said: “Let’s go man, that’s what Crawford wants, he wants to show the world that he is the best.

“Why put stipulations in there if you know you can be the best? Let’s go test ourselves.”

If he can pull off this win without the clause in place, it will surpass his signature Errol Spence victory.

What is a rehydration clause and how does it affect fighters?

Fights, especially in recent years, have been dominated by talk of rehydration clauses.

The clause itself restricts the amount of weight a fighter can put on after a weigh-in and before fight night.

There are complications to a boxer’s performance and health if one is in place.

Not being able to rehydrate normally means a fighter’s durability, stamina, and ability to take a punch is significantly reduced.

Most recently, Conor Benn’s fight with Chris Eubank Jr brought the conversation to the forefront.

Eubank Jr was not allowed to come in at more than 170 pounds on fight night – he was also fined for missing the initial 160 target by 0.05 lbs.

His father Chris Eubank Sr lambasted the decision telling his son that ‘it ain’t no joke’ to fight at that disadvantage.

Fortunately for Jr, he was able to prevail in a tooth-and-nail encounter against Benn but these restrictions can very easily go wrong in other contests.
