Canelo vs Crawford: why the fighter suddenly changed weight classes.

According to The Sun: Today Terence Crawford will face two-time undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in a huge fight!

How did the 37-year-old boxer manage to climb two weight classes to step into the ring against the Mexican?

Why Terence Crawford can fight for the world champion title despite never fighting at super middleweight?

Crawford is the current WBA champion at welterweight. He won this title by defeating Israel Madrimov by unanimous decision last August, which also earned him the status of undefeated champion in four weight classes.

However, it has been confirmed that when he steps into the ring on Saturday, August 13, he will relinquish the title.

Crawford moves up two weight classes to face Canelo at his natural weight – without the help of a rehydration clause.

In this way, he gives up his title at welterweight to become the mandatory challenger for the two-time undisputed super middleweight champion title.

The American boxer known as 'Bud' will be the underdog in this fight. If he manages to overcome all odds, he will make history as the first man to win three undisputed champion titles in the era of four belts.
