TWO of the best pound-for-pound boxers of the modern era will go head-to-head later this month as Canelo Alvarez meets Terence Crawford in Las Vegas!
In a bout that has been billed as the ‘fight of the century‘, the Mexican icon will defend his WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF super-middleweight titles against the undefeated four-division world champ.

Canelo beat William Scull via unanimous decision in May to become the undisputed 168-pound champion for the second time in his illustrious career.
Crawford currently holds the WBA super-welterweight strap, but he will be jumping up two weight classes for the highly anticipated clash.
Bud hasn’t fought since August 2024, when he beat Israil Madrimov by unanimous decision to take the WBA junior middleweight title.
The 37-year-old southpaw makes his return to the ring for one of the biggest fights of all time, but he will have a battle on his hands to beat Canelo in his preferred division of super-middleweight.
Should Crawford be successful in Las Vegas, he will become the first man in the modern four-belt era to achieve undisputed status in three separate weight divisions.
