Saul “Canelo” Álvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) will face undefeated challenger Terence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) to unify the super middleweight titles on Sat., Sept. 13, 2025 from inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The event will stream live on Netflix with no additional cost to existing subscribers.

“Turki [Alalshikh] wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing and this is right up my alley,” UFC CEO, Dana White, said in today’s release. “Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I’m going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? It’s literally a once in a lifetime fight. Live on Saturday, September 13, streaming globally on Netflix, two of the GREATEST boxers in the sport will meet in a historic fight from Las Vegas.”

So much for that supposed “rift.”

Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, recently partnered with White and TKO Group Holdings, Inc. to co-promote the world’s biggest boxing fights in collaboration with Saudi entertainment company Sela.

“I’m super happy to be making history again and this time on a Riyadh Season Card that will be broadcast on Netflix,” Alvarez said. “On September 13, I’m ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.”

Canelo vs. Crawford will begin with a three-city international press tour set for Riyadh (June 20), New York Fanatics Fest (June 22), and Las Vegas (June 27).

“My perfect record speaks for itself,” Crawford said. “I am the best fighter in the world and no matter the opponent or weight class, I have always come out on top. On September 13, my hand will be raised once again as the world watches greatness.”
