The boxing world is about to witness a historic moment as pound-for-pound superstars Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford prepare to square off in what’s being dubbed the “Once In A Lifetime” fight. This epic matchup, set to take place at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, represents a clash between two of the greatest fighters of this generation.

Unlike previous high-profile boxing events, this fight breaks the traditional pay-per-view model by streaming live on Netflix, making it accessible to millions of subscribers for free. The fight card begins at 6 p.m., promising an evening of intense athletic competition.

Canelo Álvarez, the 35-year-old Mexican boxing sensation and current undisputed super middleweight champion, comes into this fight after a somewhat underwhelming unanimous decision victory over William Scull in May. His last stoppage win dates back to 2021 against Caleb Plant.

Terence Crawford, a 37-year-old fighter from Omaha, Nebraska, is taking a bold risk by moving up two weight classes. After winning the WBA junior middleweight title in August 2024, Crawford is demonstrating his versatility and ambition in this high-stakes confrontation.

Both athletes are four-division world champions and are virtually guaranteed future induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Their matchup is widely considered the most significant North American boxing event in the last decade.

For Bay Area fans eager to catch the action, numerous venues across San Francisco, the East Bay, South Bay, and surrounding regions are hosting watch parties. From sports bars in San Francisco like The Abbey Tavern and Splash Sports Bar to establishments in Sunnyvale, San Jose, and beyond, boxing enthusiasts have multiple options to experience this monumental fight.

Whether you’re a die-hard boxing fan or just curious about this historic sporting event, the Canelo-Crawford fight promises to be an unforgettable spectacle of athletic prowess and competitive spirit.
