Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) is set to put his undisputed super-middleweight titles on the line against Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) on Saturday, September 13, in Las Vegas, with the bout streaming live on Netflix.

Turki Alalshikh shared his excitement about the upcoming showdown between Canelo and Crawford. In a video posted on X, he passionately highlighted the fight’s importance, calling it “the biggest fight in boxing and history in the last 10 years or maybe more.”

He also thanked Canelo, Crawford, Netflix, Sela, Nick Khan, TKO, and others for their efforts in making this landmark event possible.

Alalshikh said, “Thank you for everyone. Thank you Canelo, thank you Crawford, thank you Netflix, Sela, thank you all your team, and Netflix, thank you Nick Khan, TKO, my brother.”

The highly anticipated super-fight will stream live on Netflix, potentially reaching the platform’s 300 million subscribers and bringing the year’s biggest boxing event to a global audience. When Netflix aired the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout last November, the main event drew as many as 108 million viewers.

Dubbed “The One,” the Canelo vs. Crawford fight will determine boxing’s pound-for-pound number one star. The branding and poster closely mirror the promotional style used for Canelo’s 2013 clash with Floyd Mayweather.

A three-city press tour will launch the Riyadh Season event, starting Friday, June 20 in Riyadh, followed by a stop in New York on Sunday, June 22 at Fanatics Fest, and concluding on Friday, June 27 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The fight is being organized in partnership with Sela, Riyadh Season, Dana White, and Turki Alalshikh, and it will also serve as the global debut of Zuffa Boxing.
