By Boxing News - 12/03/2024 - Comment Honorable Turki Alalshikh said today in an interview that Terence Crawford will fight "after May. He has a "minor injury" but will be ready to fight in the first half of 2025. Turki did not say who would be Crawford's (41-0, 31 KOs) opponent, but said he would like to talk to Canelo Alvarez face-to-face "without one in between." He may be trying to negotiate with Crawford, who would need to move up two weight classes to 168 to challenge Canelo for his unified super middleweight titles. Crawford expressed his reluctance get the title against Canelo stepping up to face any of the competitors at 168. After his struggles against Israel Madrimov at 154 on August 3, it's understandable why he was hesitant to do so. Turki's statement "I don't know anyone in Canelo's team, and I have no connection with him, but if he hears me, I'm ready to talk about what I want to talk about, me and him directly without anyone in between," said Honorable Turki Alalshikh on Ariel Helani's channel about wanting to fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. "He has a little health problem, but he prefers to fight us after May," Turki said of the injured Terence Crawford.
