BY BOXING HIT STAFF-

Canelo Alvarez recently addressed Turki Alalshikh’s offer for a fight against Terence Crawford, as well as his remarks regarding Canelo’s upcoming match against Edgar Berlanga. In response to Turki’s comments about competing with his Mexican Independence Day event on September 14th, Canelo expressed his dissatisfaction. He felt that Berlanga may not be the ideal opponent for this particular date, especially when going up against the UFC. Many in the boxing public had hoped to see Canelo face David Benavidez instead, but it seems that particular match-up is still uncertain. Canelo made it clear that he prefers things to be done his way, not someone else’s.

Social Media Buzz Around Canelo’s Altercation with Berlanga

The recent altercation between Canelo and Berlanga on Tuesday sparked a lot of interest on social media. The heated exchange between the two fighters has generated excitement among fans, with many looking forward to their upcoming match. If Canelo and Berlanga can sustain this level of intensity in the lead-up to their fight, it’s possible that they may draw impressive numbers for the PBC on Prime Video and DAZN PPV.

Turki’s Change of Heart Regarding Canelo vs. Crawford Fight

Despite initially proposing a fight between Canelo and Terence Crawford, Turki Alalshikh has since had a change of heart. On social media, he revealed that he is no longer pursuing the matchup, acknowledging the concerns raised by fans. It seems that Crawford may not possess the necessary attributes – power, size, or youth – to move up to the 168-pound weight class and take on Canelo. Instead, Crawford would be better off focusing on opponents in the 154 or 147-pound divisions, including rising star Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.

Canelo Alvarez’s response to Turki Alalshikh’s offer for a fight against Terence Crawford sheds light on the complexities of matchmaking in the world of boxing. As Canelo prepares to face Edgar Berlanga, his focus remains on the task at hand. While the prospect of a showdown with Crawford may have intrigued some, it seems that the logistics and timing may not be in alignment at this time. As the boxing landscape continues to evolve, fans can only speculate on what the future holds for these talented fighters.
