Report: Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Fight Officially Confirmed for September 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas

PhilBoxing.com





The boxing world is buzzing with excitement as the highly anticipated superfight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford has been officially confirmed for September 13, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The announcement, which came on February 26, has set the stage for what promises to be one of the most electrifying matchups in recent boxing history.

The Fight Details
According to Boxing News 24, the fight will take place at the iconic T-Mobile Arena, a venue known for hosting some of the biggest boxing events in the world. Both fighters have agreed to terms, and the bout will be contested at the super middleweight limit of 168 pounds. This marks a significant challenge for Crawford, who will be moving up three weight classes to face the undisputed super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez.

No Rehydration Clause
In a surprising twist, Boxing Scene reported that there will be no rehydration clause in the contract, a detail confirmed by Terence Crawford’s trainer. This means Crawford will have the freedom to regain his natural weight after the weigh-in, a factor that could play a crucial role in the fight. The absence of such a clause has been seen as a sign of mutual respect between the two camps and a nod to the magnitude of the event.

Leaked Details and Record-Breaking Potential
Ahead of the official announcement, Yahoo Sports leaked some key details about the fight, including the date and venue. The report also highlighted the massive pay-per-view (PPV) sales expected for the event. Industry experts predict that the fight could break records, given the star power of both fighters and the global interest in the matchup. Canelo, a four-division world champion, and Crawford, an undefeated pound-for-pound great, are two of the most recognizable names in boxing, making this a must-watch event for fans worldwide.

What’s at Stake?
For Canelo Alvarez, this fight is an opportunity to solidify his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of his generation. A win over Crawford, who is widely regarded as one of the most skilled fighters in the sport, would further cement his status as the face of boxing.

On the other hand, Terence Crawford is looking to make history by becoming a four-division world champion. A victory over Canelo would not only add another legendary name to his resume but also elevate him to an even higher echelon in the sport.

The Road to September 13
With the fight now officially confirmed, both fighters are expected to begin their training camps in the coming months. Fans can expect a buildup filled with intense press conferences, promotional events, and plenty of trash talk as the two boxing titans prepare to clash in the ring.

As the countdown to September 13 begins, one thing is certain: the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight is shaping up to be a historic event that will captivate the boxing world.
