After orchestrating a series of legendary events, Saudi Arabia’s super promoter Turki Alalshikh is once again setting the boxing world abuzz. His next ambition: to bring together two of the world’s most dominant and undisputed champions, Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez, for a historic showdown.

**The Titans of Boxing**

Terence Crawford, universally recognized as the number one pound-for-pound fighter by reputable sources such as BoxRec, ESPN, and The Ring, has proven his supremacy in both the welterweight and super lightweight divisions. Crawford’s impeccable record of 40 wins with no losses is a testament to his unparalleled skill, with no fighter in the 61.2kg – 66.7kg weight classes able to withstand his prowess since 2016.

On the other hand, Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez has been a formidable force in the middleweight and super middleweight divisions since 2015. As one of the most lucrative names in North American boxing, Alvarez has defeated every contender to secure his status as the undisputed super middleweight champion (72.6kg – 76.2kg).

**A Dream Matchup**

Fighting in distinctly different weight classes, few fans ever anticipated a bout between these two boxing legends. However, Turki Alalshikh, the President of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, is determined to make it a reality.

Alalshikh has been instrumental in organizing some of the most anticipated matches in recent history, including Fury vs. Ngannou and Joshua vs. Ngannou. His Riyadh Season project aims to bring the most spectacular fights to the global stage. His next target is to bring Canelo and Crawford into the ring together.

“I will discuss this with Canelo, but it will definitely be a huge fight with Crawford. I will talk to him about potential opponents,” Alalshikh shared.

**Crawford’s Next Move**

On August 3rd, Terence Crawford is set to challenge for the WBA Super welterweight title, currently held by Israil Madrimov. If Crawford triumphs in this new weight class, he will have every reason to entice Canelo into the ring.

“I have a lot of respect for Turki. He has seen what I have gone through to reach my current position. It’s an honor that he approaches me with respect for boxing, unlike those who just want to bring fighters down without acknowledging their names to the world,” Crawford commented.

**Canelo’s Financial Focus**

After his victory over Jaime Munguia to defend his undisputed super middleweight title, Canelo Alvarez has made his financial goals clear for the next phase of his career.

The red-haired Mexican has faced all the biggest names in contemporary boxing, from legends like Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shane Mosley, and Miguel Cotto to current stars such as Gennady Golovkin, Amir Khan, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, Jermel Charlo, and Dmitry Bivol. With a collection of titles that secures his place in boxing history, Canelo now seeks lucrative fights to continue growing his financial portfolio.

Turki Alalshikh appears to be the perfect partner to fulfill Canelo’s aspirations, making the potential Crawford vs. Canelo fight not only a dream matchup for fans but also a financially promising endeavor for both fighters.
