Then both of them provided the scales with the same weight about 10,000 fans at T-Mobile Arena after hours.

It has been a high weight for Crawford, a four -division champion of supernatural weight in the hope that the undisputed man would win the first man in three seasons of weight.

Alvarez, 35, and Croford, 37, pulled him for a few seconds before it was separated by Dana White, the mastermind of UFC, who cooperated with the RIYADH season in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to promote the battle that will be broadcast globally by Netflix.

This event crowned months of intense promotion to fight by both boxers and White, a personal friend of US President Donald Trump, who aims to hold a mixed event in the arts of the White House in 2026.

“I have prepared everything,” Alvarez confirmed the party crowd, there to support it at the weekend before Mexican Independence Day.

Alvarez is the only fighter that holds all the four main belts in the superior weight section.

He fought in about 168 or more than seven years and won six battles in a row since his rise to heavy weight in May 2022, and lost a unanimous decision against the Russian Dmitry Bever.

Although it has passed nearly four years since he recorded the knockout, he will go to the favorite circuit on Cruford – who has never fighted more than 147 pounds until last year when he weighed 153.5 in his unanimous victory over Istril Madimov.

“I feel very good, I can’t wait for tomorrow,” Kroford said for a capacity of the stands.

Crawford, 41-0 with 31 knockouts, owned all four belts in lightweight sections and weight weight.

“It will be soon,” Alberto Medina, who traveled with his family from Insinada in Baja California, told the news agency. “It will be determined in detail because Croford seems confident.”

But the American Mexican, Matteo Diaz, who is enthusiastic about boxing from Boys, Idahu, believes that Croford can make history.

“I think Crawford will win because of his superior skills,” he said. “If it is clear in the early rounds that he can carry punches in Canilo, it will reach the end of the battle and win the decision.”

With a knockout or the decision, Crowford said on Thursday his goal is a clear victory.

“My focus is going out there and doing what I do better and this is to win the battle decisively – and this is what I aspire to do on Saturday.”
