In his second fight of the year, Canelo Alvarez faced Terence Crawford, who moved up two weight classes to face the Mexican superstar for his WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF super middleweight titles in a 12-round fight. The two headlined 'The Fight of the Century', a boxing event held on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In May, Alvarez faced William Scull in a super middleweight title unification bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, securing a unanimous decision victory. The 35-year-old handed Scull his first professional defeat and became a two-time undisputed super middleweight kingpin.

Meanwhile, Crawford is coming off an impressive unanimous decision win over Israil Madrimov last August, capturing the WBA super welterweight title. As a result, the Omaha, Nebraska native became a four-division champion. He entered the fight undefeated and was aiming to become undisputed in three divisions.
