Canelo Alvarez to Fight Terence Crawford September 12 in Las Vegas

Canelo Álvarez defeated William Scull by unanimous decision in Riyadh, reclaiming his status as the undisputed super middleweight champion and improving his record to 63-2-2. Scull, who entered the fight undefeated, suffered his first career loss. Immediately following the bout, it was officially announced that Álvarez will defend his undisputed title against Terence 'Bud' Crawford on September 12 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Crawford, a multi-division world champion, will move up in weight to challenge Álvarez despite having fought only once above 147 lbs and not competing in over a year. The match-up is highly anticipated as Crawford seeks to become undisputed in a third weight class, while Canelo remains undefeated at super middleweight. The upcoming fight represents a major event for boxing, pitting two of the sport’s biggest stars against each other.
