Overview

• Canelo Alvarez defends the undisputed super-middleweight crown against unbeaten Terence Crawford on September 13 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium in the debut event for Dana White and Turki Alalshikh’s TKO Boxing.
• Multiple outlets report the bout will stream globally on Netflix with no extra pay-per-view fee, though official distribution terms have varied by source.
• Crawford, 41-0, is moving up two divisions to 168 lbs to face a natural super-middleweight, and talkSPORT notes there is no rehydration clause for Canelo.
• Mike Tyson says he hopes Crawford wins but predicts Canelo’s size and power give him the advantage, citing rare historical upsets as a reminder that surprises can happen.
• Canelo pushed back at criticism over not facing David Benavidez and said his resume speaks for itself, while Benavidez and other pundits have picked Canelo largely due to the size gap.
