Overview

• Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez arrived in Las Vegas and defended his intense camp work, naming Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Yoenli Hernández as sparring partners after Teddy Atlas questioned the approach.
• Terence Crawford, 41-0 with 31 KOs, moves up two divisions and unveiled a notably muscular build as his team downplayed Canelo’s size and power advantages.
• The undisputed 168‑lb championship at Allegiant Stadium will stream exclusively on Netflix, with the main card set for 7:00 pm CT and ring walks expected around 8:45 pm CT.
• Expert views diverge: ex‑opponent Jeff Horn sees a possible Crawford knockout, Mike Tyson leans toward an Álvarez win despite rooting for Crawford, and William Scull doubts Canelo’s power but still favors him due to weight.
• WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán says he will attempt to enter the ring to present the belt despite being told he cannot, framing it as a dispute he intends to press on fight night.
