Canelo Alvarez confirmed that his fight against Terenka Crawford will be in Las Vegas on September 13. He says that they are still “working” at the fight at the Allegiant stadium.
Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) states that Las Vegas is an ideal place for his clash with Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) because it is perfect for the Mexican Independence Day. It was said that southern California or Texas are two other options for issuing the Canelo-Crawford fight, but it looks like this is happening.
The 40-Iiss Crawford will basically boost from a welterweight, three divisions to challenge Canelo, 35-year-old for his unquestioned medium championship. One of the marketing points to fight is that it allows Crawford to become three unquestioned champion.
It is doubtful that anyone cares about it except for Stat Fans who focus on the discs. Ordinary fans just want to see a good fight between high quality, eminent warriors. It would lend a hand if Crawford came to 168 and took David Benavidez to get the fight with Canelo instead of giving him on the silver plate of Turki Alalshikhh.
Stadium allegiant: Place update
“We are still working on it, but we will make sure that everything is the best,” said Canelo Alvarez to media Asked if the Allegian stadium in Las Vegas is still being considered for his fight against Terenka Crawford on September 13.
Canelo vs. staging Crawford makes sense for Las Vegas because it uses a fans base of the Mexican star from California, Nevada and Texas. Organizing a fight at the Allegiant stadium would be perfect to have a enormous crowd to accommodate fans who are intriguing this fight at the level of fresh products.
“It’s a fight that people should enjoy in Las Vegas.” Asked where the fight would be staged, Canelo said: “Vegas. Yes, of course. In Vegas there is no better weekend than the Mexican Independence Day.”
The fight in Riyadh will hurt interest because of time and can be challenging for Canelo aging. In his last fight he looked infernal, trying to defeat William Scull on May 3 in Saudi Arabia. 35 -year -old Alvarez looked at any age, and then a bit. I don’t know if we can blame him with needy Canelo results, fighting in another time zone in Riyadh, because it looked more like he showed signs of being over the hill.
If you take the 27-year-old version of Canelo, which for the first time fought Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017 against SCULL in May last year, would probably destroy the Cuban. Unfortunately, for Alvarez he is not fighting so much and he was lucky that Scull did not show much aggression because he would probably lose.
Canelo explains the form of riyadh
“It was of course a fresh experience. Everything was completely different for me, fighting in the morning than at night. It is challenging. Your body feels rejected. You feel confused, but it is part of this experience,” said Canelo, explaining why he did not play well, fighting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against William Scull at another time in North America.
Pay attention to excuses from Canelo? He doesn’t want to admit that he is getting vintage and he can’t even deal with shy, defective warriors like Scull. Let’s explain this: Canelo did not fight Scull because of the time zone. He had problems because he is no longer a spring chicken-it’s the same for 38-year-old Crawford. Both are relics from the past era
In his last fight with Israil, Madrimov looked fatysmal, he looked on August 3, and then seemed mentally unaware, saying that he was “Beating him throughout the fight.” Crawford even rejected the power of “Little GGG” Madrimov, saying to the media that “nothing I have never seen before.”
It was challenging to see how Crawford seriously bruised from his face and more marked than any fight on his 17-wave card. He looked as if the trailer had driven him, and yet he disregarded Madrimov’s power after the fight. However, Turki Alalshikh still wanted to apply Crawford to fight Canelo, not adolescent talents such as David Benavidez. I would never give Crawford another thought after Madrimov’s fight if it were me.
“I am glad that I have achieved one of my dreams to fight outside the USA or Mexico. Very good. I am really content working with him,” said Canelo about my thoughts about working with Turka Alalshikh.
I can imagine Canelo’s happiness works with Turki. It is said to get $ 150 million In the case of a fantasy level circus with Crawford. I would also be content, fighting with a 40-pins in welterweight instead of making money on the cake fighting David Benavidez.
Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.
Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
