September 13 will mark a historic moment for Dana White, as one of his long-time dreams finally becomes reality. Canelo Alvarez is set to face Terence Crawford in a Super Middleweight title showdown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with the blockbuster bout streaming worldwide on Netflix. The event is being promoted by the UFC president in collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority chairman, Turki Alalshikh, and Saudi events company Sela.
Back in March, the group revealed plans to launch a brand-new boxing league, an ambitious move tied to White’s long-standing mission to fix a sport he has often criticized as broken, dating back to his Zuffa Boxing project.
