A shredded Terence Crawford - jumping up two divisions - weighed the same as champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez for tomorrows super-middleweight showdown in Las Vegas.

Unbeaten Crawford, aiming to become the first male three-division undisputed champion in the modern era, came in just about 227 grams under the 75kg limit.

The 37-year-old American looked in incredible shape, with defined abs showing despite the extra weight he has carried for this potential history-making fight.

Mexican Alvarez, 35, will defend his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and WBO titles at the Allegiant Stadium.

The official weigh-in was held behind closed doors at the Fontainebleau on Friday morning.

A ceremonial public event is scheduled later at the T-Mobile Arena which will be the final face-off before fight night.

The preliminary card will begin at 9.30am tomorrow, the main card will start at 1pm, and Crawford and Alvarez are expected to make their ringwalks between 3pm and 3.30pm.
