Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are getting ready for a big fight on September 13, 2025. They'll be competing for the undisputed super middleweight title in what could be one of the biggest boxing events in recent years.
Canelo, the current undisputed super middleweight champion, is coming off a win against William Scull in May 2025. That fight helped him get his titles back, but some people weren't too happy with how it went down. They thought it didn't have enough action.
On the other side, Crawford is the WBO interim super welterweight champion. He won that title in August 2024 when he beat Israil Madrimov. Now, he's taking on a big challenge by moving up two weight divisions to face Canelo.
Both fighters have won titles in four different weight classes, which shows how good they are. Crawford has even been an undisputed champion before. This fight is a big deal because it's two of the best boxers of our time going head-to-head when they're both at the top of their game.
Crawford thinks this fight could be huge. He said:
"If it catches fire and gains fan support, it could definitely surpass the great Mayweather-Pacquiao fight."
He's talking about the 2015 fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, which had 4.6 million pay-per-view buys. That's a big number to beat, and there's some worry about piracy affecting how many people watch.
Richard Schaefer, who manages Canelo, is excited about the match-up. He thinks it will be a technical masterclass, with both fighters showing off their skills.
This fight is a big deal for boxing. It's bringing together two of the best fighters around, and it could set new records for how many people watch. It's the kind of event that could get people all over the world talking about boxing again.
