Canelo vs. Crawford Bout Faces Date and Venue Shift


PhilBoxing.com





In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated super fight between undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez and undefeated welterweight king Terence Crawford has undergone a change in date and venue. Originally slated for Friday, September 12th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the bout will now take place on Saturday, September 13th.

The news was revealed by Turki Alalshikh, head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, who now owns Ring Magazine. Alalshikh cited a scheduling conflict with college football as the reason for pushing the fight back by a day.

Adding to the shake-up, the venue is also no longer set in stone. While Allegiant Stadium was the initial location, Alalshikh announced that five potential venues across Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City are now under consideration. The final decision will reportedly hinge on which of these locations presents the most favorable deal.



Furthermore, the broadcast platform for the event is also in flux. While it was previously speculated that streaming giant Netflix would air the blockbuster clash, Alalshikh indicated that this is also subject to change. He stated on X (formerly Twitter): "I will announce at the right time when and where the big fight [between] Canelo and Crawford, and which platform!"

This marks a significant shift in plans for what is being touted as one of the biggest fights of the year. The change in date, while only a day later, could impact travel and accommodation arrangements for fans who had already made plans. The uncertainty surrounding the venue adds another layer of intrigue to the event.

The Canelo vs. Crawford fight will see Crawford move up two weight divisions to challenge Álvarez for his undisputed super middleweight titles. Both fighters are considered among the pound-for-pound elite in boxing, making this a highly anticipated clash between two of the sport's biggest stars.

Boxing enthusiasts will now be eagerly awaiting Alalshikh's further announcements regarding the final venue and broadcast details for this mega-fight. The kick-off press conference for the event is reportedly scheduled to take place in Riyadh in the coming weeks, where more information is expected to be revealed.
