Canelo vs. Crawford Fight Nears Finalization

The highly anticipated fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is nearing finalization, potentially taking place in September in Las Vegas at 168 lbs with no rehydration clause. Canelo has recently acknowledged Crawford's abilities, which contrasts with his previous doubts, although negotiations are still ongoing. Arab sheikh Turki Alalshikh's involvement has been pivotal, offering Canelo a substantial financial incentive that could make him the highest-paid boxer under the Riyadh Season banner. Past comments by Canelo dismissing Crawford's record have resurfaced, stirring reactions from Crawford's camp, including his sister's remarks. Fans and experts, including Floyd Mayweather, are weighing in on the fight, with some expressing concern over the weight disparity as Crawford will have to climb multiple weight classes to face Canelo. Nonetheless, the boxing community is abuzz with excitement over what is being billed as one of the most significant matches of the decade.
