Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford met Fridaym June 20 in Saudi Arabia for a press conference to promote their megafight, scheduled for Sept. 13 in Las Vegas. But a Saudi powerbroker spoke first.

Canelo Alvarez is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. Throughout his career, the Mexican has faced superstars like Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, and more.

The Sept. 13 clash between Terence "Bud" Crawford and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez for Alvarez's undisputed supper middleweight championship is set as possibly the biggest fight of 2025.

After several anticlimactic Turki Alalshikh events, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford on Sept. 13 will be the first fight financed by the Saudi magnate to have a knockout bonus.
