“Boxing Mecca” Las Vegas is calling! Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford meet on September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium.
The last big question has been answered: The mega-fight between Canelo Álvarez (63-2-2, 39 knockouts) and Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 knockouts) will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas! This will turn the home of the Las Vegas Raiders into the center of the boxing world on September 13. 65,000 spectators will be able to watch live as two of the best pound-for-pound fighters of our time clash. The stadium – previously a venue for football and concerts – will thus experience its premiere in combat sports. Originally a college football match was scheduled there, but the biggest fight of the year was rescheduled. The event is organized by the Riyadh Season in cooperation with the TKO Group.
It was confirmed last week that the superfight will be streamed worldwide via Netflix – a first for the streaming giant and further proof that history is being made here.
Several major press events are scheduled in the run-up to the fight:
- June 21 in Riyadh (Kick-off-PK)
- June 23 in New York City at the Fanatics Fest
- June 27 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas
