Following Canelo Alvarez’s dominant victory over Edgar Berlanga last night in Las Vegas, the boxing world is buzzing with speculation about his next opponent. One name that continues to surface is Terence Crawford, who has publicly declared his desire for a showdown with the Mexican champion.
Crawford, alongside boxing federation president Turki Alalshikh, was present at The Sphere for UFC 306, just a short distance from the T-Mobile Arena where Canelo fought. They sent a clear message: “We want Canelo next, Canelo come on! We are ready. Canelo – Crawford the biggest fight in boxing. Stay ready.”
However, the potential fight is not without its hurdles, primarily the issue of money. Canelo, the current WBC, WBA, and WBO champion, is known for his high demands, requesting a staggering $150 million for a fight against Crawford. While acknowledging Crawford’s skills, Canelo has emphasized his willingness to fight anyone but only on terms that suit him, given his status and ability to draw crowds.
The potential clash between these two boxing titans is the dream match for fans, but it ultimately hinges on financial negotiations. Will the financial obstacles be overcome, or will boxing fans be left longing for the battle they so desperately crave?
