Boxing fans have been dreaming about this fight for years. The sweet science loves its what-if scenarios, and Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford has been at the top of everyone’s wish list. These two champions represent different eras and styles of boxing excellence. Canelo brings his Mexican warrior spirit and devastating body shots. Crawford counters with his slick southpaw skills and ring IQ that makes opponents look foolish. <\/p>
For the longest time, this superfight seemed like another case of “maybe next year” that haunts boxing. Different promoters, different networks, and different weight classes kept these warriors apart. But sometimes the stars align in the most unexpected ways!<\/p>
The boxing world got its wish recently when Netflix officially announced the fight. UFC<\/a> CEO Dana White practically bounced off the walls with excitement. White’s enthusiasm feels genuine because this represents his boxing debut as a promoter. TKO Boxing launched just three months ago in March, and landing Canelo versus Crawford as their first major event is like hitting the lottery on your first ticket. <\/p> “Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing and this is right up my alley. Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I’m going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? It’s literally a once in a lifetime fight.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
