Terence Crawford said he is embracing the magnitude of his upcoming showdown with Canelo Alvarez on Saturday in Las Vegas, calling it the biggest fight in boxing in “probably a decade” as he bids to become the first male boxer to be undisputed in three weight classes.

Crawford, who faces Alvarez for the super middleweight title, said his preparation has remained consistent despite having to move up two weight classes to challenge the Mexican superstar in a bout that will be streamed live on Netflix.

“Same song, just a little higher tone,” he told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday.

The 37-year-old American praised Alvarez’s experience while backing his own tools to carry the night.

“Canelo is very experienced. I'm very experienced as well. You got two experienced fighters going head-to-head. The best man is going to win,” he said, adding that his footwork and speed could be decisive.
