When two pound-for-pound kings step into the ring, history doesn’t wait — it swings. The undisputed face of Mexican boxing will square off against the undefeated American phenom in a historic showdown, and it’s all happening live on Netflix. On Saturday, Sept. 13th, Netflix will stream the blockbuster bout between Mexico’s Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) and undefeated American superstar Terence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), live from Las Vegas. The high-stakes match-up was announced by Netflix, Turki Alalshikh (Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority and President of the Saudi Boxing Federation), Sela and Dana White of TKO. It will be available to all Netflix subscribers globally, included in all memberships at no additional cost. Ahead of this epic Saturday fight night, Canelo and Crawford will stage a three-city international press tour, kicking off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday, June 20th before heading to the United States for stops at Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in New York City on Sunday, June 22nd, and at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, June 27th. 

Canelo, the reigning WBC, WBA, and WBO supermiddleweight world champion, enters the ring on Sept. 13th with legendary credentials. [In his last fight] he defeated William Scull by unanimous decision, reclaiming the fourth super middleweight title that had been stripped away from him.

The Guadalajara native is also coming off recent victories over Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguía, and has held world titles across four weight classes (154, 160, 168, 175 pounds). His only two career losses came against Dmitry Bivol in 2022 and the undefeated Floyd Mayweather a decade earlier. Now, with 66 fights behind him, Canelo takes on one of the sport’s most technically gifted opponents in what promises to be a battle of elite minds and bodies. “I’m super happy to be making history again and this time it will be broadcast on Netflix,” Alvarez told Netflix. “On Sept. 13, I’m ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.”
 
Crawford has carved his own legacy as a two-division undisputed champion — a feat never before accomplished by a male boxer in the four-belt era.  Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Crawford has dominated every division he’s entered, from lightweight to junior welterweight to welterweight, and now junior middleweight, where he most recently defeated Israil Madrimov to capture the WBA and WBO titles. His landmark ninth-round TKO over Errol Spence Jr. in 2023 cemented his place in boxing history.  Now, Crawford jumps to 168 pounds to face Canelo — a fight fans have dreamed about for years. “My perfect record speaks for itself,” says Crawford. I am the best fighter in the world and no matter the opponent or weight class, I have always come out on top.”
