Canelo Álvarez Recent Fights
UD 12 William Scull (May 2025, Riyadh) to regain undisputed status at 168 after wide cards of 115–113, 116–112, 119–109 at ANB Arena.
UD 12 Jaime Munguía (May 2024, Las Vegas) to retain the super middleweight crown, scoring a knockdown in Round 4 and winning clearly on the cards.
UD 12 Jermell Charlo (Sep 2023, Las Vegas) in a dominant super middleweight defence, with scores 119–108, 118–109, 118–109.
Canelo’s momentum is steady and recent form has been decision-heavy. Scull, Munguía and Charlo all went the distance, underlining control more than late-fight drama.
Terence Crawford Recent Fights
UD 12 Israil Madrimov (Aug 2024, Los Angeles) to claim the WBA 154 lb title at BMO Stadium, winning 116–112, 115–113, 115–113.
TKO 9 Errol Spence Jr (Jul 2023, Las Vegas) in a career-defining win to become undisputed welterweight champion.
KO 6 David Avanesyan (Dec 2022, Omaha) in a dominant WBO welterweight defence.
Crawford enters unbeaten with elite pound-for-pound credentials. His jump to 168 comes without prior action above 154, so size and strength are the key unknowns.
What Comes Next for Canelo?
- If Canelo wins: he could face the winner of Christian Mbilli vs Lester Martinez, with the WBC interim belt likely to drive a mandatory defence.
What Comes Next for Crawford?
- If Crawford wins: he would become undisputed at a third weight and face choices – defend at 168 or vacate and return to 154 for blockbuster fights.

F.A.Q.
Supporting Subheading
All four major belts at super middleweight are on the line. A Canelo victory maintains his reign as one of boxing’s best, while a Crawford win would carve a unique place in history as the only male boxer of the four-belt era to go undisputed in three divisions. Crawford insists there is no rehydration clause, potentially shifting the physical balance toward Canelo’s natural frame.
Crawford is moving up two divisions to meet Canelo because it’s the clearest path to historic legacy on the sport’s biggest stage: a win at 168 would make him the first male boxer of the four-belt era to become undisputed in three weight classes. This is also a fight between two fighters who not only have not lost in their whole career but also have never been knocked down, hyping the fight up even more.
