LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — UFC President Dana White is selling his first main boxing card in Las Vegas with two of the most effective fighters on this planet.
Allegiant Stadium will host Saturday’s combat between Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford, who’s shifting up in weight to combat the Mexican Champion.
Will probably be the primary boxing match held inside Allegiant Stadium and would be the greatest stadium combat ever held in america and producing a file gate.
White was introduced on board to advertise the combat.
“None of these things would be possible if it weren’t for Turki Alalshikh,” White stated.
The Saudi Arabian leisure boxing dealer will put up the cash to stage the combat and is the one that insisted the 12-round championship combat be held at Allegiant Stadium.
“The Shaikh Turki wanted this fight at Allegiant so bad, so here we are,” he stated.
Alvarez is the favourite, and a a lot greater particular person. Crawford will bounce two weight lessons from junior middleweight to tremendous middleweight and look to develop into the primary male boxer to win championship belts in 4 completely different weight lessons. Canelo has known as the combat “easy money.”
Alvarez will enter the fitting with 63 wins and a pair of losses, and Crawford is unbeaten with 41 wins, 0 losses, and 31 KO’s.
