Boxing Pros REACT To Canelo Álvarez VS Terence Crawford Fight ANNOUNCEMENT!

Numerous enthusiasts have eagerly anticipated a showdown featuring Terrence Crawford, dreaming of a clash with none other than Saúl "Canelo" Alvarez. Yet, the wait for this epic battle is destined to stretch a tad longer than some may have anticipated. Nevertheless, when the moment finally arrives, it's bound to exceed all expectations and prove well worth the patience.

Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, who holds the greatest purse strings in boxing, at least thinks that way. According to ESPN, he divulged his strategy to revamp a sport in dire need of repair, sparking curiosity among many about who would step up as Crawford's next challenger.

Israil Madrimov is set to step into the boxing ring on August 3rd in Los Angeles to contend for the WBA junior middleweight title, yet Alalshikh's ambitions extend far beyond this bout. This marks the inaugural event organized by the entrepreneur beyond the borders of Saudi Arabia, signaling merely the inception of his grand vision.

Turki Alalshikh claims to have a plan to match "Canelo" and Crawford in the ring later in the year, either in December or even as early as 2025, but it might not be that simple. After his victory over Jaime Munguia last Saturday, "Canelo" Alvarez left no room for ambiguity. He confidently asserted his ability to dictate terms and requirements for any future challengers. Speculation is rife that David Benavidez may be the next in line to step into the ring with him come September.
