Following the kickoff press conference, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford host the second leg of a three-city press tour at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York on June 22 2025.
The two fighters preview their highly anticipated matchup, with the undisputed super middleweight title on the line.
Mexico’s Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) and Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) of Omaha, NE battle it out on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The contest, featuring two four-division champions, airs live on Netflix.
Two-time undisputed 168-pound champion Canelo makes the first defense of his title during his second reign. Two-division undisputed champion Crawford looks to collect all major belts in his third weight class.
The undisputed super middleweight king Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) concurs, and he’s anticipating that his Sept. 13 superfight against Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) will be anything but boring at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Netflix.
“I agree with Turki Alalshikh. People want to see good fights,” Alvarez told reporters during the press tour announcing his fight. “People come to spend money to see great fights and if the other fighter comes to run on the night and doesn’t make a good fight, it’s deceptional. Alalshikh and I talked after the Scull fight about that. It’s very sad.”
Alvarez went on to label Crawford as a top-six opponent in his career and believes it’ll be an entertaining night.
“We expect a great fight, the fight of the century, right?” said Alvarez. “I’m going to win the fight.” Thousands of fans were in attendance at the New York Press Conference, during Fanatics Fest NYC at Javits Center -2025.
Guests on Dias included: Turki Alalshikh, Voice of Boxing, Michael Buffer, Dana White, UFC President and Promoter of the fight, Announcer Max Kellerman, Richard Schaffer, Boxing Promoter and advisor to Canelo, Eddy Reynoso long-time trainer and manager of boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford’s trainer, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, Nick Khan, WWE President and of course the legends of Boxing, Canelo Alvarez and Terrance Crawford.
A lot of people are making many predictions and have so much to say about this fight, as being a former fighter, fan, writer and boxing historian, my prediction will be this is one of the best fight in the last ten years and I believe this will be a 50% 50% fight either man can win.
