Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are getting ready to face each other in the boxing ring. The two champions will meet on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada.
Dana White, the UFC president, will lead the promotion for this boxing event. White doesn't like stadiums but promises to make the experience at Allegiant Stadium great for fans.
Many people in boxing and MMA have different ideas about who will win. Amir Khan, who has fought both boxers, thinks Crawford is taking a big risk by moving up two weight classes.
Khan said:
"Weight classes exist for a reason in boxing"
But he also believes Crawford might see something others don't, which could lead to an upset.
Javier Mendez, who coached Khabib Nurmagomedov, thinks Canelo will win. He admits he's biased because of their shared Mexican heritage.
"Of course I'm being biased. He's Mexican. I'm Mexican... I like Canelo. I like Canelo anyway"
Mendez also said Crawford is tough and one of the best fighters he's seen.
The fight has got everyone talking. Crawford will move up two weight classes to fight Canelo, who currently fights at 168 pounds. Some wonder if Canelo's power will be too much for Crawford at this weight.
Dana White wants to make the show better than usual boxing events. His involvement has raised some eyebrows, but he's determined to deliver a great experience.
Boxing fans will watch closely when these two champions step into the ring on September 13. It's sure to be a memorable night, no matter what happens.
