Saul Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford each weighed in at 167lb behind closed doors on Friday morning, clearing the final hurdle before their historic showdown at Allegiant Stadium.

The weigh-in result confirmed what many had been waiting to see: Crawford, unbeaten in 41 professional fights, tipping the scale at a career-high mark as he climbs two weight classes into the super-middleweight division for the first time. Until last year he'd never fought above 147lb and in his most recent outing last August he weighed 153.4lb in edging Israil Madrimov. Now, after months of adding bulk, he stands one night away from challenging for all four of Alvarez's belts at 168lb.
