Recently, three-division world champion American Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) told the media that a fight between himself and four-division world champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) is realistic and would definitely be a blockbuster.
Crawford said, “I think this big fight is realistic, and it will definitely happen. Everyone should wait and see. I believe my fights will sell out anywhere, regardless of which state they are held in. This big fight is what everyone is looking forward to.”
Alvarez said, “Preparing for Crawford is tough because he switches from southpaw to orthodox right-handed stance, making him a formidable opponent. To fight him, I must prepare patiently as usual, focusing on delivering more body shots, where patience is key. Everyone likes to aim at their opponent’s head, but it’s hard to hit Crawford’s head given his level of skill.”
Currently, the top candidate for Alvarez’s September opponent is still Chris Eubank Jr. (33-3, 24 KOs), but there are some disagreements over purse distribution, especially if the fight is held in the UK, where Eubank Jr. is demanding a 50-50 split, something Alvarez is unwilling to accept.
