Turki Alalshikh announced Canelo Alvarez vs. tonight in the evening Terenca Crawford “Gigantic Fight” at the Las Vegas stadium. It calls it “Fight of the century “ Which does not reflect reality. It’s more like “Fight of the Month” in September.
Crawford entered the ring after the 12-round unanimous Canelo decision with the super middle champion IBF William Scull. The victory meant that Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) was a twice unquestioned champion. He needed this title as a Crawford fighting point because he is a former two -level unquestioned master, doing so in 140 and 147.
Surprising, Bud Crawford looked bigger than Canelo tonight. During the meeting you can see that he was thicker and heavier than Alvarez, who in the 180s. He looked at the fight with Scull. Crawford was eating well in nine months, when he was out of the ring since the razor’s color over Israil Madrimov in his debut on August 154 last year.
“Now we want to fight for a century. The fight in September between two great warriors in our generation, Canelo Alvarez and Crawford,” said Turki Alalshikh, Inside the ring After the victory of Alvarez over the super middle champion Ibf William Scull. “It will be at the stadium in Las Vegas on September 12.
Many free boxing fans are not fans of Crawford. It is popular among the segment of hardcore boxing fans who like to watch fighters who practice “hit-i-get-get” style. It does not fight aggressively enough to be popular among mainstream fans.
Turki did not mention the price of PPV for the “great fight” between Canelo and Crawford. There will be many dissatisfied boxing fans if it is costs $ 100As in the case of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight. Considering that today’s Canelo-Scull fight was 60 USD per DAZN PPV, you would have to think that the Canelo-Crawford event will be higher.
It’s a good fight, but not close to the level that defines it. Crawford is not a fight that fans want to see. They want Canelo to fight David Benavidez, not the aging Crawford.
Tim Bradley believes the growing connections between Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Zuffa Boxing have less to do with avoiding certain opponents and more to do with the extraordinary financial opportunities currently available in the sport.
Speculation about Haney and Stevenson potentially joining Dana White’s boxing venture has increased in recent weeks, with both fighters having no long-term promotional commitments.
“No one will be able to pay them that amount. It doesn’t matter, wherever else they go, they won’t make that kind of money,” Bradley said on his YouTube channel.
“We remember and we go back to the time when PBC was founded, they were overpaying the players. Eddie Hearn is on DAZN and they started overpaying the players. It’s a period right now for these players, especially at the highest level, if they want to make money on the book, this is the perfect opportunity now.”
“With that in mind, this is why I see Haney and Shakur Stevenson signing on that dotted line,” Bradley said. “How they do it is another matter. How they arrange the contract will be another matter.”
“You only make money like this once in a lifetime. This is a great opportunity for both of these guys because of the type of life-changing money they will receive.”
Stevenson fulfilled his promotional obligations with Matchroom earlier this year after previously leaving Top Rank, leaving the WBC lightweight champion without a formal promoter. Meanwhile, Haney has largely pursued his career alongside his father, Bill Haney, having previously worked with both Matchroom and Top Rank.
Any move involving Haney could still be complicated by his position as the WBO welterweight champion. The sanctioning body recently confirmed that his mandatory against top contender Keyshawn Davis is next, despite discussions about other potential fights.

As Tyson Fury searches for an August opponent, fan-favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. advises “The Gypsy King” to stay away from two rumored opponents who he believes “could crash the party” ahead of his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua.
Although AJ is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25 in preparation for his clash with Fury, the latter is yet to announce who will be in the opposing team’s corner for his next fight.
As a result, many names have been linked to an attempt to thwart Fury’s plans for a “Battle of Britain” between himself and “AJ”; with Nelson Hysa understood as the current “leading option”.
However, both Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller were also mentioned for away corners. I’m talking to Betting showroomJones told Fury to avoid both men, believing that any “real challenge” could foil his plans.
“I know what they’re doing and I understand the warm-up fights for both of them. I just hope they’re warm-up fights and not real challenges, because if they’re real challenges, no one will win.”
“It happens every time. Every time they fight a real challenge, before they start fighting each other, someone gets defeated.
“So I hope they take real warm-up fights and not real fights, because if they take two real fights, someone’s going to lose. I hope it’s not Andy Ruiz and I hope it’s not ‘Huge Baby’ Miller for Fury.”
“I think Fury can really beat them both, but Andy Ruiz ruined the party on Joshua’s side one time. Please don’t let him ruin the party again.
“Miller is no bum either. Both Miller and Andy Ruiz can crash a party.”
Devin Haney may have his sights set on the long-talked-about fight against Shakur Stevenson, but the WBO has made it clear that another opponent is on the agenda.
Haney and Stevenson recently exchanged messages online in which both men appeared ready to face each other at the 144-pound catchweight division. With neither fighter currently scheduled to return, speculation surrounding the matchup quickly escalated.
However, the sanctioning body maintained its position regarding Haney’s responsibilities as WBO welterweight champion.
“Devin must next release himself from his mandatory duties,” the WBO said Ring.
The statement was released after Keyshawn Davis was elevated to No. 1 in the latest WBO welterweight rankings following his decision to begin his full-time campaign at 147 pounds. The Ring reported that Haney’s mandatory title defense is scheduled to take place in August, leaving little room for alternative plans if he intends to retain the belt.
Keyshawn has already hinted that he is done competing in the welterweight division after victories over Jamain Ortiz and Nahir Albright earlier this year. He later reinforced that commitment by turning down the opportunity to fight Lindolfo Delgado for the vacant IBF 140-pound title.
Haney publicly acknowledged Davis as a potential opponent, but also maintained that the highlight would be the fight with Stevenson. Meanwhile, Stevenson insisted that any fight between the pair would have to be at the 144-pound catchweight.
If Haney fights Stevenson next, it appears the WBO is ready to strip him of his welterweight title. If he wants to remain a champion, the organization’s message remains unchanged: Keyshawn Davis comes first.
