Boxing fans around the world have their dream matchup confirmed—Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will defend his undisputed super-middleweight championship against undefeated pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford on September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas. The fight, already being hailed as the “Fight of the Century,” will be broadcast globally on Netflix, ensuring unprecedented reach for one of the most anticipated bouts in boxing history.
The event marks a groundbreaking collaboration between Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Chairman Turki Alalshikh and UFC President Dana White, who is venturing into boxing promotion for the first time. “Turki wants to make the biggest fights fans demand, and this is perfect,” White said. “My first boxing promotion is Canelo vs. Crawford? This is literally a once-in-a-lifetime fight.” The partnership signals a new era of crossover promotion in combat sports.
Canelo (34), coming off a dominant IBF title reclaiming victory over William Scull in May, remains the king of the super-middleweight division. Meanwhile, Crawford, who has conquered multiple weight classes without defeat, seeks to add another historic achievement to his legendary career. The stylistic clash—Canelo’s power vs. Crawford’s technical brilliance—has analysts split on predictions.
With both fighters in their primes and global stardom at stake, this matchup could redefine boxing’s modern era. The Netflix streaming deal ensures casual and hardcore fans alike won’t miss this spectacle. As the countdown begins, one question looms: Will Canelo’s reign continue, or will Crawford cement himself as the greatest of this generation? The world will find out in September.
