Overview

  • Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez defends his undisputed super‑middleweight titles against Terence Crawford on Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, streaming live worldwide on Netflix at no extra charge to subscribers.
  • WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán condemned Netflix’s exclusive rights for blocking Mexico’s traditional free broadcast and said the platform declined talks for a delayed telecast; he also unveiled a special WBC belt honoring Tlaxcala for the winner.
  • The undercard features interim WBC champion Christian Mbilli vs Lester Martínez at 168 pounds, a matchup viewed as a potential springboard toward a future mandatory shot at the division’s undisputed champion.
  • Betting markets list Canelo as a slight favorite (roughly -185 to -195), with sportsbooks leaning toward a fight that goes the distance and pricing Canelo by decision as the most likely outcome.
  • The event is promoted under the Riyadh Season banner with Turki Alalshikh alongside Dana White’s first major TKO boxing show, extending Netflix’s live‑boxing push following recent high‑audience streams.
