Canelo Saul Álvarez and Terence Crawford will enter the ring at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to have what is already being billed as “The Fight of the Century.” This is not a mere boxing match; this is two pound-for-pound supermen, with legacies of iron, clashing before a world thrilled by a great boxing match before them. In the case of Canelo, it has to do with protecting Mexican boxing pride on a weekend of national importance. To Crawford, it will be the final opportunity to compete against one of the most successful champions in the sport.

Why This Clash Matters

A Milestone for Sports Streaming
This is not the first time Netflix has entered the world of live boxing, but it is no doubt its most ambitious one. In 2024, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson attracted a record 38 million viewers simultaneously in the United States, and the fight between Ahmad and Crawford may outsell it. Featuring an impressive undercard, iconic broadcasters, and two pound-for-pound champions on the marquee, September 13 will be a night that will change the way the world watches boxing.
