Deal in Place for Super-Fight

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford have finalized a deal to face off at the 65,000-seat Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The pair of pound-for-pound superstars have been in talks for this highly anticipated super-fight.

Details of the Fight

The fight is scheduled to take place in September in Vegas for Canelo's 168lb super-middleweight world titles. The blockbuster bout is set to be the first major boxing event at the Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL.

Stadium and Fight Preparation

The Allegiant Stadium, which opened in 2020 at a cost of $2 billion (£1.6bn), has a seating capacity of 65,000 fans. Canelo has previously fought at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium in Texas, drawing a crowd of 73,000 for his victory over Billy Joe Saunders in 2020.

Possible Opponents and Weight Classes

It is speculated that IBF champion William Skull could be Canelo's next opponent before facing Crawford, aiming to reclaim his undisputed throne. Crawford, a three-weight champion, may need to jump two weight divisions to meet Canelo in the ring.
