Previously announced Megafight between the undisputed champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez and the two -level unquestioned champion of Terenka Crawford will take place in Las Vegas in a place that should be determined. It will be broadcast live live to Netflix on September 13.

Turki Alalshikh, chairman of General Entertainment Authority and president of the Saudi Boxing Federation, announced on Tuesday news about the transmitting partner and the city. However, there was no place on the place. The fight will be cooperated by the Riyadh season Alalshikha, president and general director of UFC Dana White and Sela, a private Saudi entertainment company Arabian Entertainment.

“September 13 Canelo and Crawford, two boxing legends, will eventually compete with each other in the fight of the century,” said Alalshikh in a statement. “Together with Dana White and Sela we will provide something really amazing in Las Vegas for fans around the world to enjoy Netflix.”

There were questions about White’s participation in the event when Alalshikh announced a change in the date from the originally announced date of September 12 to September 13. White initially planned to organize his annual Noche UFC event at the Guadalajara Arena (Mexico) on September 12, which would be contrary to the highly expected boxing match. It was announced that the UFC would not accommodate Noche UFC in Mexico after it was revealed that building delays for the Guadalajara arena forced it to move to the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. The event was also changed from the point of view to the free Night Card of the Fight. This explained all the confusion about White’s commitment, which he verified after UFC 316 at the weekend.

“Turki wants to fight the biggest fights that fans want to see in boxing, and this is my avenue,” said White by the statement. “You’re kidding me about the first boxing fight, which I can promote, is Canelo vs. Crawford? It’s literally a fight once in my life.”

Earlier it was announced that the fight would take place at the Allegiant Stadium. After changing the date, it is not known where the event will take place. UNLV has the host Idaho State on the Allegian Stadium on September 13. Currently, there is no detention at the T-Mobile Arena, where many of the largest events in combat sports take place.

Alalshikh also announced that there will be three times the international media route to promote the fight, which begins at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, June 20. He goes to the United States to the stops in Fresh York at Fanatics Fest on June 22 and ends in Las Vegas.

Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) reflects the unanimous decision about William Scull in May to become a two-time super medium medium champion. He won six more fights since losing to Dmitry Bivol, when he challenged the delicate heavyweight title in 2022.

“I am very joyful that I am creating a story again and this time on the Riyadh season card, which will be broadcast on Netflix,” said Canelo, No. 7-Ranking Pun-Found Fighter. “September 13 I am ready to show again that I am the best pound warr in the world.”

Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) recently fought in August last year, when he defeated Israil Madrimova for the WBA Junior Midder championships in weight. The position of the position for 3 pound per pound was previously undisputed both in welterweight and welterweight.

“My perfect album speaks for itself,” said Crawford. “I am the best warrior in the world and regardless of the opponent or weight class, I always went to the top. On September 13, my hand will be raised again when the world looks at the size.”

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”

The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
