Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will get in the ring this September in Las Vegas. The fight has got everyone in boxing excited.

Crawford wants to make history by becoming a champion in five weight classes. He's already won titles at lightweight and super-welterweight. Last August, he beat Israil Madrimov for the WBA title at 154lbs.

Canelo's got a big fight coming up first. He'll face William Scull in Riyadh this May for the IBF title. If Canelo wins, he'll have all the belts at super middleweight when he faces Crawford.

Shannon Briggs, a former world heavyweight champion, thinks Crawford will win. Briggs is known for his knockout power. He holds the record for the most first-round knockouts in history with 37.

Briggs told ESNews:

"I got Crawford by stoppage. Brutal stoppage. I'm telling you Crawford by stoppage."

Briggs feels so sure about Crawford winning that he plans to bet big on him.

"I'm gonna bet 100,000 dollars on Crawford. Crawford's gonna be the underdog in this fight."

But not everyone likes this match-up. Mike Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, doesn't think it's a good idea. He even suggested other fighters he thinks Crawford should face instead.

The boxing world will watch closely as these two champions prepare for their showdown in September.
