"Terence Crawford moves up in weight to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed super middleweight title on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (Netflix, 9 p.m. ET). Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is a four-division world champion and has fought most of his career between 135 and 147 pounds. He moved up one weight class to 154 in August 2024 and defeated Israil Madrimov to win the WBA junior middleweight title. "Bud" Crawford has achieved undisputed status in two divisions -- something that has been accomplished by only two other men's fighters in the four-belt era ( Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue). A win against Canelo will make Crawford the only men's fighter to be undisputed in three weight classes ( Claressa Shields has done it in women's boxing)."
