The highly anticipated fight between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford has a new date — one that abruptly raises questions about the relationships between the promotional entities involved.
Alvarez's undisputed super middleweight title defense against Crawford will now take place on Saturday, Sept. 13, rather than the Friday, Sept. 12 date that was announced in the aftermath of Alvarez's win over William Scull to unify the 168-pound belts earlier this month.
Ring Magazine, which is owned by Turki Alalshikh, broke the news Tuesday afternoon.
With the change of date comes a change of venue — and potentially city — as well.
