Mike Tyson has picked a clear winner for this weekend's blockbuster fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

More than 300 million Netflix subscribers around the world will be able to tune in to see if Alvarez can defend his super-middleweight title.

Already, some of the biggest names in boxing have begun to weigh in with their predictions, including Tyson.

The 59-year-old is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights in history, reigning as the undisputed world heavyweight champion between 1987 and 1990.

Although Tyson wants Crawford to win, he believes the Mexican star Alvarez will retain his crown.

He gave his prediction ahead of the fight, saying: "Oh, that’s gonna be interesting because I would like to see Crawford do it.

"I can’t see, listen, on paper he doesn’t stand a chance. It has to be some kind of miracle, something happen, cause he can’t run from Canelo.

"Canelo is fast, I don’t know, Canelo’s still out. He’s not really out of his peak, he’s still good. He’s not washed up.”

Rapper and producer Fat Joe then replied with his own prediction, saying that he does not believe Crawford can lose.

Tyson then added: “I don’t want him [Crawford] to lose.”

For Crawford, a victory would be historic, as he could become the first three-weight undisputed champion in boxing history.

He already has experience delivering in the biggest fights, having dominated Errol Spence Jr in 2023 to become undisputed at welterweight. His current record stands at 41-0, with 31 of those wins coming by knock out.

Crawford, who had to step up two weight classes for the fight, has reportedly been in excellent shape ahead of the showdown.

However, Alvarez, brings his own experience at super-middleweight to the ring.

Since his defeat to the legendary Floyd Mayweather in 2013, Alvarez has continued to build his legacy, defeating notable opponents in Amir Khan, Miguel Cotto and Gennadiy Golovkin.

The fight promises to be one of the biggest of the year and will take place at the Allegiant Stadium, which is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders.

In the build-up to the bout, both Alvarez and Crawford have already visited Riyadh, New York City and Las Vegas, fuelling excitement among fans.

With so much on the line, boxing fans will be eagerly watching to see who comes out on top.
