According to a recent report, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are set to finally meet in the boxing ring.

The Mexican superstar and ‘Bud’ have seemingly been on a collision course for a few years now. Following a blistering knockout win over Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023, Terence Crawford called for a fight with Canelo Alvarez. Already a two-time undisputed champion, ‘Bud’ wanted to move up three weight classes for more gold.

However, the super-middleweight champion had other business to deal with. Canelo Alvarez initially shot the fight down, instead scoring lopsided wins over Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga. For his part, Terence Crawford moved to light middleweight last August, scoring a decision win over Israil Madrimov to earn WBA and WBO gold.

Following that win, there was again brief talk of a potential Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight. However, it appears that the bout may finally come to fruition. Earlier this week, a report from ESPN Deportes’ Julius Julianis on X rev

Perhaps fans’ wishes may finally be answered. For a long time, there has been clamoring for a fight between two of boxing’s biggest stars—Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. For one reason or another, the matter seemed to drift into uncertainty. However, the onset of the new year has brought positive vibes to one of the most anticipated matchups in boxing history.

Recently, Canelo Alvarez was seen mingling with HE Turki Alalshikh at the Ring Magazine awards in London, a moment that many viewed as a promising sign. Despite frequent callouts from Crawford, Alvarez had remained noncommittal. When finally asked the big question, he reportedly named a massive purse as the condition to fight the Nebraskan southpaw. Later, a publicized disagreement with the Riyadh Season head followed, leading many to believe the fight might never happen. However, recent reports suggest progress is being made to turn this dream matchup into a reality. The reaction to these developments speaks volumes about how eagerly fans await this historic clash.

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford on the brink of a blockbuster fight?

Renowned boxing journalist Julius Julianis was cited by @knockoutalerts, which shared a photograph of Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. The accompanying caption read, “Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford in the works for September of this year in Las Vegas.”

To make his intentions clear, Terence Crawford vacated the welterweight division—where he had become an undisputed champion for the second time—and moved up to face Israil Madrimov. His unanimous victory on the Riyadh Season card in Los Angeles further bolstered his case.

But such fights, between a superstar and a pound-for-pound great, are genuinely rare. Given its magnit

The boxing world is alive with murmurs again about a potential skirmish between former undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford. However, this time, Crawford’s backers were forced to realize the harsh reality of Crawford’s situation. 

‘Bud’ last appeared in the ring against Israil Madrimov in August, securing a hard-fought unanimous decision win. While he managed to secure a win, it was the flattest performance from the Nebraska native in his first bout at 154 pounds. Many questioned his abilities at higher weight classes, where the potential Canelo fight would go down.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford in Las Vegas?

Coming back to the latest chatter, Mo Boxing No Problem revealed “talks to stage Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford at the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas are underway.” Previously, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh had reached out to Canelo’s team to set up a fight between him and Crawford.

However, the fight fell apart when Alalshikh claimed Canelo had demanded unrealistic numbers for the fight. This turned into a public back-and-forth between the duo through social media and interviews. In the end, the potential fight seemed far-fetched and out of reach. But, according to Mo Boxing No Problem, “Turki Alalshikh is involved” in the fight talks. 

Regardless, Canelo Alvarez secured two easy wins this year against Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga. Since then, there haven’t been any updates on who he may fight next besides the latest Crawford clash. Anyway, when the fans discovered the news on Instagram,
