The confusion over when the boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will occur is over. Alvarez vs. Crawford will take place on Saturday, September 13, in Las Vegas. The fight card will stream exclusively on Netflix. Despite knowing the date and streaming service, the venue for the fight has not been announced.
In May, Alvarez unified the super middleweight titles, winning back the IBF crown he never lost in the ring with a 12-round unanimous decision win over William Scull at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Not long after the win, it was announced that Alvarez will put his IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring titles on the line against Terence Crawford on September 12 in Las Vegas. The matchup takes place at Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders.
Not long after that announcement from Turki Alalshikh, the Ring Magazine wrote that the fight date would be September 13 and that the location was up in the air. At the time, The Ring said the location of Alvarez vs. Crawford would be 'chosen from five venues overall in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York.'
As of now, it appears as if Las Vegas will remain the location of the fight. The venue remains in question.
The 34-year-old Alvarez (63-2-2 with 39 KOs) has been competing mostly at super middleweight since 2020. The win over Scull moved his 168-pound record to 11-0.
The 37-year-old Crawford, 41-0 (31 KOs), last fought in August, defeating Israil Madrimov to win the WBA light middleweight title and vacant WBO interim light middleweight belt. Prior to that fight, Crawford became the undisputed welterweight champion with a ninth-round TKO win over Errol Spence Jr in 2023. The win over Madrimov was Crawford's first fight over 147 pounds (154). He will be stepping up to 168 pounds to face Alvarez in Vegas.
Despite the fight not being official until May, SportsBetting.Ag has been offering lines on the Alvarez vs. Crawford contest since mid-January.

Red Sox news: Boston hits brutal low with early inning routing by Yankees
The post Red Sox news: Boston hits brutal low with early inning routing by Yankees appeared first on ClutchPoints. After staging a stunning comeback against the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox collapsed early in their series opener against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. New York immediately seized control, dominating the first three innings and jumping out to a commanding 7–0 lead. Notably, this marked the 15th time in Boston's last 23 games that they allowed at least five runs, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Advertisement 'The Boston Red Sox pitching staff has now given up at least five runs in 15 of their last 23 games,' Nightengale wrote. 'They have given up 7 runs tonight to the Yankees. It's the third inning. Yankees 7, Red Sox 0.' Boston's pitching woes continue to mount, fueled by both injuries and inconsistency. Several key arms remain sidelined, including Chris Murphy, Liam Hendriks, Nick Burdi, Tanner Houck, and Kutter Crawford. Hendriks is still out due to right hip inflammation and, as of now, has no clear return timeline. Houck, who is dealing with a right elbow flexor pronator strain, has yet to show signs of progress. Meanwhile, Crawford was placed on the 60-day injured list with right patellar tendinopathy. Fortunately, the team later reported that there was no structural damage, and Crawford is expected to recover soon. Across 86 career appearances, Crawford has posted a 4.56 ERA with 389 strikeouts over 392.1 innings. Advertisement In response to the team's continued struggles, manager Alex Cora has not held back. Following a 7–6 loss to the Angels, he publicly criticized the rotation. During that game, Richard Fitts gave up three home runs in the first inning alone. Amid the chaos, Garrett Crochet has emerged as a rare bright spot. So far this season, he has recorded five wins, a 1.98 ERA, and 101 strikeouts across 13 starts. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop in the Bronx. Walker Buehler failed to contain the Yankees, allowing seven hits, seven runs, and two home runs in just two innings of work. As a result, his ERA rose to 5.18. Zach Kelly replaced him and managed to strike out four batters. However, he also gave up a hit and now holds a 6.60 ERA. With the Yankees surging and the Red Sox unraveling, one question now lingers: Can Boston rediscover its late-game magic and reignite one of baseball's most storied rivalries?

World heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk keeps Ukraine on his mind as he prepares for his next big fight
Perched on Spain's eastern coast, the touristy town of Gandia may not look like an obvious home for one of Ukraine's biggest stars, but it's here that world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is basing himself ahead of his next fight. Quieter than other towns in the vicinity, its geography and climate confer it a surprising but important characteristic for Usyk and his team: it looks and feels like southern Crimea. The links to Usyk's home province and country don't stop there. Step inside his base – a co-working center turned fortress and gym – and you will see references to Ukraine everywhere. From the yellow and blue splashed on most walls, to the numerous flags, symbols and memorabilia he personally selected, Ukraine – and the war of survival it's going through – are very much at the forefront of Usyk's mind. 'It's a little difficult to balance things when your family is in Kyiv,' the WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion told CNN Sports. Throughout the day, CNN witnesses him interacting with his two sons – hugging them, sharing jokes and even playing a little bit of soccer. They joined him at his training camp and, here, he knows they are safe. But some of his family have stayed behind in Ukraine. 'My two daughters and my wife,' he said. 'But I just know that my Ukrainian people and my Ukrainian soldiers will protect them.' When he's not preparing for a fight, Usyk himself spends most of his time at the family home in Kyiv, so he knows all too well what his family is going through every night, as Russian drones and bombs continue to batter cities around the country. He avoids the news as he tries to stay focused on his training, explaining it 'would be a distraction.' Still, the connections he's made in the military – he joined Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces when Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022 and has visited the frontlines on several occasions – means he's immediately updated when something serious happens. 'The guys who are defending my country are on the front,' Usyk explained to CNN. 'I have information that is sent to me. When things are dangerous, they tell me.' They also share Ukraine's successes, like the daring drone strikes the nation carried out on Russian air bases deep within the country. 'I would like to express my deep gratitude to Vasyl Vasyliovych (Malyuk, head of Ukraine's Security Services [SBU]) – boss, great job,' he said, with a grin, beating his chest with his clenched fist. He added that he's messaged the SBU chief as well. But while a 'distraction' from training is what Usyk wants to avoid as he prepares to unify the world heavyweight title for the second time in his career against Great Britain's Daniel Dubois on July 19, distractions from the grueling and bloody battles at the front are a welcome break and exactly what his fellow soldiers need to take their minds away from the war. 'We try not to talk about the scary things they do to defend our country. What is happening there, what kind of shelling is happening, how they are being attacked, how they are heroically defending our country,' Usyk explained. 'They're more interested in what I'm doing. When I ask them questions, they say, 'Wait, wait, wait. Tell us about yourself, what's going on with you?'' 'At that moment, I show them videos of our training sessions,' he added. Those moments are small respite for those fighting to defend Ukrainian sovereignty, roughly three years and three months after Moscow's armies marched on Ukraine. But for the soldiers and Usyk, the war began long before with the annexation of his home in Crimea in 2014, just one year after he became a professional boxer. The war, he admitted to CNN Sports, has played a defining role in his development as an athlete. 'I think that, in a way, it motivated me to do something for my country,' he said, adding that he's not just fighting for himself. He's also used his platform to fundraise for Ukraine and frequently addresses the war and other issues facing his country on his social media accounts, advocating for his country and his people. To that end, he has also pleaded with US President Donald Trump for more support, offering to host him at his family home, so he can experience what it's like to live as Ukrainians do, under the threat of constant bombardment and air raids. A post shared by CNN (@cnn) Yet despite all of his work outside the ring, he has remained an undefeated 23-0 in his career with 14 wins coming by way of knockout. And he is confident he'll keep up his perfect record against Dubois at Wembley Stadium too. 'How confident am I? One hundred percent. 100,000,000%,' he told CNN Sports. 'It's difficult (to tune out the war), but I can switch off to do my job so that I can help my country more later on.'

Liverpool's £70m deal OFF after star says no
Darwin Nunez says no Corriere Dello Sport claims Nunez will not be moving to Al-Hilal as he rejected their offer. This comes one day after the transfer deadline for the Club World Cup shut. Liverpool expected some sort of movement from Al-Hilal on Tuesday. Essentially, things would go either way - a deal for Nunez or Al-Hilal giving up. Advertisement We firmly got our answer: Al-Hilal will not be signing Nunez. The striker supposedly prefers a move to a major European club this summer, despite being open to a Saudi Arabian transfer back in January. Things change, of course, and Liverpool - who had this £70m deal well and truly on - now must look elsewhere to sell Nunez. Atlético Madrid are certainly one of the teams in that race.
