Overview

• Terence Crawford beat Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez by scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 to become the undisputed super‑middleweight champion and the first male to achieve undisputed status in three divisions in the four‑belt era.
• Crawford returned the physical belts to Álvarez at the press conference, a customary gesture since the sanctioning bodies will issue the new champion his own personalized straps.
• ESPN’s John Sutcliffe reported a rematch is expected in Saudi Arabia, with timing and broadcast‑friendly start times still to be negotiated.
• Saudi entertainment chief Turki Alalshikh said Canelo has two fights planned with Riyadh Season in 2026 and noted he offered the star continued collaboration until retirement.
• Reaction has been sharp: Óscar De la Hoya mocked Canelo online, Julio César Chávez Jr. said the Mexican looked physically diminished, Canelo called Crawford “much better” than Mayweather, and Crawford remarked that Egidijus Kavaliauskas hit him harder than Canelo.
