Saul “Canelo” Álvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford are set to face off in an undisputed super middleweight title bout on September 13, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The fight, streamed exclusively on Netflix, features two celebrated champions with contrasting styles and remarkable records, competing for undisputed glory in one of boxing’s biggest matchups of the year.
Álvarez has a record of 63 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, with 39 knockouts. He is a four-division world champion, currently undefeated at super middleweight with an 11-0 record at 168 pounds.
His only losses came against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Bivol. Canelo is a veteran with 67 professional fights, having fought top competition like Gennadiy Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, and Caleb Plant, whom he stopped to unify the super middleweight division.
Crawford is undefeated with a 41-0 record and 31 knockouts. He has been undisputed champion at light welterweight and welterweight.
He has won world titles in four divisions but is moving up two weight classes to challenge Canelo at 168 pounds for the first time.
His notable wins include Errol Spence Jr., Shawn Porter, and Amir Khan. Crawford is known for switching stances and being a technically advanced boxer. His challenge is whether his speed and power carry up when facing the bigger and stronger Canelo.
This fight tests size versus speed and power versus skill. Canelo has a significant weight and power advantage and has fought much longer and heavier throughout his career, with over 520 rounds compared to Crawford’s roughly 245 rounds.
Crawford’s advantage is youth, speed, and versatility. If he can control the pace and avoid Canelo’s power, he stands a solid chance. Canelo must prove he still has a strong hold at the highest level after his loss to Bivol and maintain his reign as the top super middleweight.
The stakes are the undisputed super middleweight championship and boxing history. Crawford aims to become the first man to be undisputed champion in three weight classes during the four-belt era, while Canelo looks to cement his legacy as one of the sport’s all-time greats. The fight will be streamed worldwide on Netflix with no pay-per-view fees.
