Filipino great Manny Pacquiao<\/a> has shared his final thoughts on the upcoming \u2018mega-fight\u2019 between Canelo Alvarez<\/a> and Terence Crawford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mexican star Canelo is set to defend his undisputed super-middleweight championship against the unbeaten American on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/a><\/p>\n

The boxing world have been waiting for the monumental showdown between the pound-for-pound stars since it was announced back in May, just moments after Canelo defeated Cuba\u2019s William Scull to capture the undisputed crown at 168lbs for the second time.<\/p>\n

Crawford will make the move up to super-middleweight for the very first time in his career when he clashes with the Mexican star, having spent the majority of the past decade campaigning at welterweight.<\/p>\n

One man that knows a thing or two about being involved in huge fights is eight-division world champion Pacquiao, who has shared the ring with a number of generational greats throughout the course of his tenure.<\/p>\n

In an interview with ESNEWS<\/a>, Pacquiao made no mistake in backing Canelo to get the job done over Crawford in just over one week\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019ll [Canelo] win this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst Crawford is faced with what could be the toughest test of his career when he faces Canelo, the unbeaten 37-year-old from Nebraska could write his name into the boxing history books by becoming the first male fighter in boxing history to become a three-weight undisputed champion.<\/p>\n

He previously achieved this feat at both super-lightweight and welterweight with respective victories over Julius Indongo in 2017 and Errol Spence Jr in 2023.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filipino great Manny Pacquiao has shared his final thoughts on the upcoming \u2018mega-fight\u2019 between Canelo Alvarez and Terence…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-121104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
