Canelo Alvarez is undoubtedly one of the biggest combat sports athletes in the world. The fighter has constantly given blockbuster pay-per-view events in his previous fights. Alvarez plans to do the same with his upcoming boxing match with Edgar Berlanga on September 14. The fight date is clashing with Dana White’s dream project in the Las Vegas Sphere, however, that doesn’t seem to concern the multidivisional champion.
With only one month remaining to the fight Canelo Alvarez has been pretty busy with the promotions to his fight. Recently, in an interview, Alvarez was asked about his head-on clash with Noche UFC on September 14. While many are speculating UFC to dominate the numbers, Alvarez is quite confident in his ability to sell tickets.
This is different. Maybe other boxing match, but Canelo is different…I don’t care if the UFC is there, when Canelo fights it’s different.

Dana White has been working on the UFC at the Las Vegas card for a long time. According to the UFC CEO, it’s his dream project which will be his love letter to the Mexican fight fans. However, with MGM giving Canelo Alvarez the T-Mobile Arena on the same date, White felt disrespected. However, the Saudi Delegate and a friend to White, Turki Alalshikh has sided with UFC to destroy Alvarez.
Nonetheless, it will be Canelo Alvarez’s second title defense of 2024. In his last outing, the Mexican powerhouse beat Jaime Munguía via unanimous decision. However, one of the biggest fights that fans are expecting from the fighter is a potential clash with Terence Crawford.
Canelo Alvarez’s views about the Terence Crawford super fight
Terence Crawford recently made history by capturing the WBA junior middleweight title by outpointing Israil Madrimov. This made ‘Bud’ the only four-division titleholder in recent times. This win also solidified his pound-for-pound ranking as one of the top fighters in the world. What’s left is the dream bout with none other than Canelo Alvarez.

However, due to collaborative differences with Alvarez, he backed out of the project. While talking about the fight, Alvarez mentioned that he’s down if the money is right.
Everybody wants to fight me. Everybody calling me out and everything. I have nothing to win with Crawford. Two, three weight classes less than me but if the money is right. Why not?

Nevertheless, this clash between Alvarez and UFC has everyone’s eyes on it. The UFC fight card is stacked from top to bottom with Sean O’Malley defending his belt in the main event. Both Dana White and Alvarez are confident about their respective show and it will be interesting to see how this turns out on September 14.
