A true super-fight will take place this weekend, as Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford square off in Las Vegas.
Two pound-for-pound talents – two four-division champions – go head to head at Allegiant Stadium as Canelo, 35, defends the undisputed super-middleweight titles.

This fight marks an ambitious endeavour from Crawford, 37, with the American hitting a career-highest weight, having previously held gold at lightweight, super-lightweight, welterweight and most recently super-welterweight.
Crawford’s unbeaten record (41-0, 31 knockouts) is also on the line, while Mexico’s Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) – a former super-welterweight, middleweight and light-heavyweight champ – puts his reputation on the line to an extent. If anyone can overcome the natural size disparity, though, it is surely Crawford, who is seen by many as the best boxer of this generation, and who could become the first three-weight undisputed king of the modern era.
Alongside Mike Tyson’s bizarre but enthralling bout with YouTuber Jake Paul in November, and Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao in 2015, this is one of the biggest bouts of the last decade. Here’s all you need to know.
