Overview
- The fight is booked for Saturday, September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with more than 70,000 seats expected after organizer Turki Al‑Alshikh granted Álvarez’s preference for a stadium date.
- The contest will be fought at super-middleweight (168 pounds), marking Crawford’s first appearance in the division.
- Álvarez told ESPN he is unconcerned about any height difference and warned that Crawford will “feel the real power.”
- Recent coverage presents the matchup as 2025’s marquee boxing event with the super-middleweight throne at stake.
- Álvarez arrives under scrutiny after a lackluster May win over William Scull, and he dismissed a Jake Paul bout for now, saying his focus is on pride and making big fights.
