Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will face off in a big boxing match on September 13, 2025. This fight has got a lot of people talking, and Roy Jones Jr. has shared his thoughts on how it might go down.
Jones, speaking at the International Boxing Hall of Fame ceremony in Canastota, New York, said the outcome will depend on how Canelo approaches the fight.
"That's a good fight. [The] results depend on the type of fight Canelo fights."
Canelo's last fight against William Scull ended in a unanimous decision win, but he had trouble landing big punches because Scull kept moving around. Now, he's got to decide if he'll use the same approach or be more aggressive with Crawford.
Crawford's got his own challenge. He's moving up two weight classes to take on Canelo. But he's known for being slick and able to switch between orthodox and southpaw stances. He wants to prove he can handle a tough Mexican champion like Canelo.
Canelo's not worried though. He said, "He's a great fighter. But he's not Canelo." The Mexican star's power could end the fight if he gets aggressive.
The boxing world can't agree on who'll win. Some think Canelo's power will be too much, while others believe Crawford's skills will help him overcome the weight difference.
No matter who wins, this fight means a lot. The victor will cement their place as one of the greats in boxing history.
