He has won titles in multiple weight classes and most recently became the undisputed welterweight champion by stopping Errol Spence Jr.
Now, he is making a daring leap up 14 pounds to face the biggest challenge of his career.
A Clash of Styles
Crawford’s sharp counterpunching, elite footwork, and ability to switch stances will be tested against Canelo’s power, experience, and body-punching prowess.
Crawford’s speed could present problems for Canelo, while Canelo’s physicality may wear down the smaller man. This chess match inside the ring will determine who reigns supreme.
What’s at Stake?
