Canelo vs Crawford: Two Boxing Legends Clash in Once-in-a-Generation Netflix Spectacle
Historic Matchup Set to Make Boxing History
In a blockbuster Riyadh Season event, two of boxing’s most dominant forces will collide when undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Álvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) faces undefeated four-division superstar Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on September 13.
This matchup brings together two of the finest boxers of their era, both ranked in the top ten pound-for-pound lists, with the potential to determine who is the next #1 pound-for-pound fighter and the best boxer of this generation.
Unprecedented Broadcasting Partnership
The once-in-a-generation showdown will stream live exclusively on Netflix across the globe, with no pay-per-view required and included in every Netflix plan. A star-studded broadcast team will call the action, with Jon Anik leading play-by-play alongside analysts Max Kellerman and Andre Ward, while legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer handles the main card. At the desk, Mario Lopez will be joined by Antonio Tarver, Mark Kriegel, and Mike Coppinger.
Historic Stakes and Achievement Potential
Crawford, already a four-division champion with titles from lightweight through light middleweight, could make history with a victory by becoming the first male boxer to become a three-division undisputed champion in the “four-belt era.” Additionally, he would become the first boxer to hold The Ring magazine belt in four different weight classes, joining an elite group of only six male fighters to capture titles in five divisions.
Path to the Mega-Fight
The bout was initially reported in January 2025, but faced a brief interruption when Álvarez was rumored to be in negotiations with Jake Paul for a May fight. However, the situation was resolved when Álvarez signed a 4-fight deal with Riyadh Season, ending the Paul negotiations and confirming the Crawford bout.
Venue and Event Details
The fight will take place at Allegiant Stadium, an award-winning global events destination adjacent to the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. The state-of-the-art venue has a capacity of 65,000 and has hosted numerous high-profile events. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.com, with a limit of eight tickets per person.
