Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez, who has returned to the undisputed super middleweight title, will fight American boxer Crawford on September 12.

Alvarez became the undisputed champion with a points victory over Cuban-German William Sargal.

The two men will fight for the unification of their titles at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on the morning of May 4, Myanmar time.

The fight will be a unification of Alvarez’s WBA (Super), WBC, and WBO titles and Sargal’s IBF title.

Alvarez is a former undisputed super middleweight champion who refused to fight Sargal in July last year and was forced to relinquish his IBF title.

Following the fight, promoter Taki Al-Sheikh confirmed that Alvarez will fight American Terence Crawford on September 12.

The 34-year-old Alvarez will fight for the first time outside of Mexico and the United States, and has signed a four-fight deal in Saudi Arabia.

Alvarez has a record of 63 wins, two draws and two losses in 67 professional fights.

He has held world titles in four weight classes: light middleweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and super middleweight.

Alvarez has signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, an arts, culture and sports event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and his second fight against Crawford will be his second.

Crawford (37) is a top fighter who holds the WBA and WBO Interim Light Middleweight, WBA(Super), WBC, WBO, IBF Welterweight titles.

The remaining two fights against Alvarez in Saudi Arabia are scheduled to take place in 2026.
