Canelo will make the first defence of his undisputed titles at 168lbs in what is his second reign as champion. He defeated former IBF champion William Scull in Riyadh on May 2, becoming the first fighter ever to achieve undisputed status at super-middleweight on two occasions.

"Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I’m going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford?" Dana White said in a press release.

The fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is being billed as one of the best of this century. And the hype is warranted as two of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers in the world are on a collision course for September 13th.
