The lights of Allegiant Stadium were blinding, the buzz deafening. Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford agreed not just to write history as the top boxer in the super-middleweight division, but also vowed to entertain their fans on the Netflix card. And when history and entertainment come together, you can bet that the celebrities wouldn’t want to miss out on all the action. Here are the celebrities who were spotted at Canelo vs. Crawford.

Yes, ‘The Transporter’ actor Jason Statham was there to watch the fight. In a quick interview before the match, he stated, “Combat sports have always been my favorite sports to watch. I watch everything. From MMA to the technical science of boxing. I love all combat sports.” But who was he rooting for? Highlighting the strength of both the boxers, Statham refused to take sides.

Later, he was seen ringside. His sharp gaze followed every exchange, reminding fans that the action hero lives and breathes combat even off-screen. Along with him, Mark Wahlberg brought his own star power, smiling as the cameras flashed. Rob Lowe, never far from Hollywood’s spotlight, added a touch of old-school charisma.

This star power was expected. After all, it was the launch of Dana White‘s Zuffa Boxing under the TKO banner, streamed worldwide by Netflix. Turki Alalshikh’s Ring Magazine had already set the stage with two stacked undercards earlier in the week. With that kind of buildup, it was only fitting that Hollywood’s biggest names joined the ride! Macaulay Culkin, Josh Duhamel, and Sofia Vergara rounded out the A-list crew.

Duhamel’s laid-back style contrasted with Vergara’s vibrant energy, proving once again that big fights are as much about fashion and fame as fists and footwork. Together, they made the night feel more like a red-carpet event than a boxing card. But it wasn’t just Hollywood that turned up.

Angel Reese, the WNBA star, soaked in the atmosphere and was spotted meeting Terence Crawford backstage. Former NFL player Marshawn Lynch drew laughs and attention wherever he went. And then there was MrBeast, who made headlines before the fight even started. The YouTube mogul stunned fans when he posted a video of himself taking a body shot from none other than Mike Tyson. “Mike Tyson is about to punch me… To raise awareness, I’m going to take a punch,” he said, before ‘Iron Mike’ delivered a crushing left hook that dropped him to the floor. The moment added a wild twist to a night already filled with drama.

Chance the Rapper and Wiz Khalifa also made an appearance, their trademark laid-back vibes blending seamlessly into the high-octane crowd. When paired with legends like Tyson and global entertainers like MrBeast, it was clear that this fight was more than just sport; it was a cultural event!
