Legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson made a strong statement about the upcoming fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, to be held on September 12, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to “Iron Mike”, the Nebraska fighter not only represents a real challenge for the Mexican, but has what it takes to shine in the most anticipated fight of the year.
Tyson shared the stage with other legends such as Roberto Duran, Lennox Lewis, Bernard Hopkins and current figures such as Shakur Stevenson, Keyshawn Davis and Crawford himself during the Ryan Garcia-Rolly Romero fight in Las Vegas. In that environment, the spotlight quickly turned to the official announcement of the Crawford-Canelo showdown, confirmed hours later in Saudi Arabia by Turki Alalshikh during the show in which Canelo defeated William Scull by unanimous decision.
“Crawford is a versatile boxer”
Buzzy
Mike Tyson spared no praise for Crawford, whom he has followed closely for years.
In statements to specialized media, Tyson affirmed:
“Terence Crawford has proven to be a very versatile boxer. He’s going to be very successful. A big, big success.”
This statement contrasts with the disappointment of Canelo’s performance against Scull, a fight with few meaningful punches and no real excitement.
Many experts consider that the Mexican did not show his best version.
Also, that he could be at a disadvantage against an opponent as technical and explosive as Crawford, who has been an undefeated world champion in three divisions.
Not to be missed in September
Crawford is already agreed upon and promises to be one of the most relevant fights of the modern era.
For the U.S. Hispanic community, it will be a key night in which Mexican pride will face U.S. talent.
