Crown Coins Casino revealed it is sponsoring Terence Crawford ahead of his highly anticipated championship fight with Canelo Alvarez this weekend.
The bout, which is for Alvarez's undisputed super middleweight championship belts, is expected to be one of the biggest standalone events of the sports year.
Key Takeaways
- Crown Coins Casino carries hundreds of slot games.
- Crawford has never lost as a pro, though he has never fought in this division.
- Canelo is a -160 favorite and has 49% of the handle at BetMGM.
In an announcement confirming its sponsorship of the fighter, Crown Coins Casino referred to itself as the “#1 online social casino in the U.S.”
“Crown Coins Casino is thrilled to sponsor Terence Crawford, one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the ring, a true symbol of determination, discipline, and greatness - everything we champion as a company,” said Ben Joffer, Crown Coins Casino CEO. “This partnership not only connects our brand with one of the most anticipated sporting events of all time, but also reinforces our commitment to providing world-class entertainment to audiences worldwide.”
Crawford, 37, has yet to taste defeat as a professional. He is 41-0 (31 KOs) and became the first male fighter in the four-belt era to earn the title of undisputed champion in two weight classes.
He’s also won world championship titles in four weight divisions: lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight.
Saturday's fight at super middleweight - reserved for 168-pounders - will be the first of his career. He also only fought once at light middleweight, meaning he’s effectively going up two weight classes to fight boxing’s biggest active star.
Fight analysis and promo offers
BetMGM has Alvarez, who is 63-2-2 (39 KOs) and the unified super middleweight champion, as a -160 favorite. The sportsbook’s insights revealed Alvarez has received 49% of the handle, but the underdog Crawford has gotten 45% of the tickets.
It is believed the event will draw more wagers than any other boxing event in 2025.
“In a battle between two of the best boxers of this generation, I fully expect Alvarez vs. Crawford to be the most wagered on boxing match of the year,” BetMGM senior trader Alex Rella said.
In celebration of the event, the Crown Coins Casino bonus triggers a no-deposit sign-up bonus of 100,000 Crown Coins and Sweepstakes Coins for new customers.
As a sweepstakes casino, customers can, but do not need to, deposit real money to gain access to Crown Coins Casino’s portfolio of online games, which include more than 500 slot games.
Preparing for the bout
Crawford’s journey up to 168 pounds is bold, but it’s also a substantial risk for the 35-year-old Alvarez, who hasn’t participated in a fight of this magnitude since he fought Gennadiy Golovkin for the third time in September 2022. Alvarez won that fight via unanimous decision.
Alvarez hasn’t scored a victory via KO/TKO since November 2021 when he defeated Caleb Plant via TKO in the 11th round. That was seven fights ago.
Crawford has been out of the ring for a little over a year, having last beaten Israil Madrimov via unanimous decision in August 2024. All 11 of his fights before that were settled via KO/TKO.
The fight will be held inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will be broadcast on Netflix beginning at 9 p.m. ET.
