ARLINGTON, Texas – Less than two weeks before the Cowboys depart for training camp, getting ready for a season that will include plenty of fight of its own, the team announced a real fight that will be set for AT&T Stadium in September.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was on hand Monday to announce the third boxing match to be held at the stadium, this time featuring Mexican star Canelo Alvarez, who will face off against WBO Junior Middleweight Champion Liam Smith on Sept. 17.
Canelo, one of the sport’s most popular fighters, celebrated his 26th birthday at the press conference, which featured a Mariachi band that arrived with a birthday cake, signing to the former two-division champion.
