**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – Two of boxing’s modern greats, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, are set to collide on Sept. 13th in a highly anticipated super middleweight showdown. The fight will settle a long-standing debate over who is the true pound-for-pound king, as Crawford, currently ranked higher by ESPN, moves up two weight classes to challenge the undisputed champion Canelo.

Canelo (63-3-3, 39 KOs), the sport’s biggest earner, looks to rebound from a lackluster performance against William Scull earlier this year. A victory over Crawford would boost his standing after recent criticisms. For Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), a win would make him the only male boxer in the four-belt era to be undisputed champion in three weight classes, cementing his legacy.

Both fighters boast impressive resumes. Canelo’s resume includes wins over Miguel Cotto, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, and Gennady Golovkin. While Crawford’s defining moment was his dominant performance against Errol Spence Jr.

Canelo’s most significant victory is considered to be his trilogy fight against Golovkin. Canelo dominated the fight over the older GGG. The win settled arguments over the controversial draw in 2017 and close victory in 2018. Crawford’s most impressive victory was his 9th-round TKO of Errol Spence Jr. Crawford proved that he was the better fighter as he knocked Spence down three times.

Canelo and Crawford will be hoping to add another important win to their list of accomplisments.
