Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez will fight at Allegiant Stadium after all, with the blockbuster bout formally announced for Sept. 13.
A late-night social media post Tuesday formally revealed the venue, which was later confirmed by multiple sources.
UNLV still has a home football game against Idaho State scheduled for that day. Representatives of the athletic department did not return requests for comment late Tuesday.
The fight had been announced as a Friday night event at Allegiant Stadium, but last week it was moved to Saturday with no venue attached.
The final details were unveiled Tuesday before an international press tour kicks off Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will conclude with a June 27 news conference at T-Mobile Arena.
This will be the first boxing or mixed martial arts event to be held at Allegiant Stadium.
