  • A qualifying wager requires a new account and at least a $10 deposit; if the first real-money bet loses, the stake is returned as bonus bets within 24 hours of settlement.
  • Canelo enters as the challenger for a world title for the first time since his 2022 loss to Dmitry Bivol, after dropping his last fight by unanimous decision to Terence Crawford.
