World Boxing News can confirm the final piece of the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford blockbuster is in place, with rising Mexican prospect Marco Verde’s opponent sealing the final slot on fight night.
The already-confirmed Verde (2-0, 2 KOs) faces Puerto Rico’s Marcos Osorio Betancourt (11-2-1, 8 KOs) in a super middleweight contest that officially completes the September 13 event at Allegiant Stadium.
The Verde–Betancourt clash features on the preliminary bill, which will now stream globally on Tudum.com, TKO YouTube, and WWE YouTube, the latter newly confirmed to expand access to the millions tuning in ahead of the main Netflix broadcast.
Fans inside Allegiant Stadium can enter from 1:30 p.m. PT, with prelims beginning at 2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. ET.
That leads into a four-fight Netflix main card at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET, headlined by undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) defending his crown against undefeated four-weight ruler Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs).
The Las Vegas showdown is promoted by Turki Alalshikh of the Saudi Boxing Federation and Riyadh Season, alongside Dana White of the UFC and Sela, marking one of the most ambitious crossover productions in combat sports history.
Netflix streams the fight live to its 300+ million global subscribers at no extra cost.
