The Canelo Alvarez<\/a> vs. Terence Crawford<\/a> fight is edging ever closer.<\/p>\n

Two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world will meet when Crawford steps up two weight divisions to challenge Canelo for his undisputed super-middleweight titles<\/a> at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday 13 September.<\/p>\n

Some of boxing\u2019s biggest names have already made their predictions ahead of the fight, and now former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is the latest to share his thoughts.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Fighter\u2019s Voice<\/a>, Wilder revealed that he is backing Crawford to cause the upset and become undisputed in a third weight division after previously accomplishing it at super-lightweight and welterweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great fight. I\u2019m going to go with what I feel in my heart, I\u2019m going with Crawford. I love the way he have a fighter\u2019s lifestyle. You don\u2019t hear too much about him doing crazy things, partying and all that. He has a fighter lifestyle. He\u2019s ready to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanelo is a great fighter for sure but I think Crawford is going to show him a different style of things, being able to fight left and right. Going in there with the mentality he has, I love the demeanour and willingness that he has. The demeanour that I am the best and I\u2019m going to show you, and you\u2019re going to have to prove me wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilder recently returned to action himself with a seventh round stoppage win over Tyrell Herndon, with \u2018The Bronze Bomber\u2019 having lost four of his last five fights prior to that.<\/p>\n

He now hopes to have put that poor run of form behind him, and had been offered a showdown with a fellow knockout artist for his next bout.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight is edging ever closer.
