Crawford Adds Undisputed 168-Pound Title

Terence Crawford moved up to challenge Canelo Álvarez on September 13, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Crawford won by unanimous decision to become undisputed super-middleweight champion, adding a title at 168 pounds to his championship record across multiple divisions.

Crawford’s decision to face Alvarez marks a significant leap in weight classes, as he transitions from 154 pounds to 168 pounds. This bold move follows his victory over Israil Madrimov in August 2024, where Crawford claimed the WBA super welterweight title. Despite the challenges of competing at a higher weight, Crawford remains confident in his ability to adapt and deliver a stellar performance against Alvarez.

The September showdown is expected to be one of the biggest boxing events of the year, featuring two of the sport’s most accomplished fighters. Alvarez, a four-division world champion, brings an impressive record of 62 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, with 39 knockouts. Crawford, undefeated with a record of 41 wins and 31 knockouts, aims to cement his legacy by taking on the Mexican superstar.

His journey back to 154 pounds will likely include high-stakes matchups against top contenders, further solidifying his status as one of boxing’s all-time greats.
