Canelo vs. Crawford: Date, Time, Venue Revealed for Boxing’s Superfight

The boxing world will witness history this fall when two of the sport’s greatest pound-for-pound fighters, Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford, step into the ring for a blockbuster showdown. The highly anticipated bout is officially scheduled for Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the state-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This fight is more than just a contest of styles; it is the collision of two undisputed champions at the peak of their powers. Álvarez, boxing’s biggest global star, currently reigns as the undisputed super middleweight champion with the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and WBO titles. Crawford, meanwhile, is undefeated and widely regarded as one of the sharpest technical fighters of his generation, having previously dominated at lightweight, junior welterweight, and welterweight. For the first time, their legacies intersect inside one of the sport’s grandest arenas.

Fight Night Schedule

The event will kick off with an undercard stacked with international talent, followed by a preliminary card streamed earlier in the evening. According to the official release, the main event ring walks are expected around 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), which translates to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). Fans in Europe and Asia will need to brace for an early start: the headline bout will take place in the early hours of Sunday, September 14, local time.

The official weigh-in is set for Friday, September 12, at 6:00 p.m. PT (9:00 p.m. ET) in Las Vegas, an event that is likely to attract thousands of fans eager to see the fighters face off for the final time before fight night.

Broadcast and Streaming

Unlike traditional pay-per-view models, the Canelo vs. Crawford fight will be broadcast exclusively on Netflix, making it accessible to millions of subscribers worldwide without additional purchase fees. This marks a major shift in boxing distribution and could set a precedent for future mega-events.

What’s at Stake

For Álvarez, the fight represents another chance to cement his position as boxing’s biggest draw and undisputed king at 168 pounds. For Crawford, it is the opportunity to climb weight once again and prove that his skill and adaptability transcend divisions. With both men widely considered among the top pound-for-pound fighters alive, the stakes go beyond belts — this is about legacy, dominance, and the right to be remembered as the era’s true No. 1.
