Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford clash in Las Vegas tonight in an intriguing fight which could prove to be one of the biggest in the sport’s history
Canelo Alvarez will put his four super-middleweight world titles on the line tonight when he welcomes Terence Crawford to the division.
Both men have long been in the conversation around the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world but were never expected to meet in the ring. But Crawford has jumped up two weight divisions as he attempts to become the first man in the sport’s history to rule as a three-weight undisputed world champion.
He will very much start as the underdog, however, taking on Mexican Alvarez on his country’s independence day weekend. But Crawford has backed himself all week to overcome the odds on the Las Vegas Strip. Here is everything you need to know about the fight, including the UK start time…

Terence Crawford: “Anybody can be a nobody. And for what everybody say, I haven’t fought anybody. So come Saturday we’re going to all see. I think fights like this help the sport of boxing grow in the sense of having the best fight the best and it ain’t going to do nothing but make the sport better and the best is going to start fighting the best. It’s going to be stamped in the history books and the debate is going to be over.”
