Terence Crawford is breaking new ground once again, this time by headlining a historic boxing event streamed live on Netflix. On September 13, 2025, the undefeated American superstar will face Mexico’s Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez in a highly anticipated “fight of the century” from Las Vegas, marking the first major boxing event globally broadcast on the streaming giant at no extra cost to its 300 million subscribers.
This landmark bout features Canelo, the undisputed super middleweight champion holding all four major belts (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF), against Crawford, who is moving up two weight classes to 168 pounds and aims to become the first male boxer in the modern four-belt era to be undisputed champion in three divisions. The fight is promoted by UFC president Dana White, Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh, and the entertainment company Sela, symbolizing a new era of global boxing promotion and streaming partnerships.
Ahead of the fight, both fighters will embark on a three-city international press tour starting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, then New York City, and finally Las Vegas. Despite Netflix’s previous streaming issues during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, promoters remain confident in delivering a smooth global broadcast this time.
This event represents a significant shift in sports broadcasting, blending traditional boxing with modern streaming platforms, and underscores Crawford’s role in breaking barriers beyond the ring.
