Terence Crawford, the potential rival
Carlos Aguilar of MVS Deportes reported that Saudi Arabian Sheikh Turki Al-Alshikh wanted Canelo Alvarez (61-2-2) to fight Terence Crawford (40-0) in the United States.
The International Boxing Federation (IBF) obligatory challenger William Scull, a Cuban, would be eliminated if it were the case. There is also consideration for Jaime Munguia and Pitbull Cruz.
Jaime Munguia (43-1), who was stopped by Alvarez in Las Vegas earlier this month, will make a comeback to take on Caleb Plant (22-2) on the main card, Aguilar further stated.
Even Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (26-2-1) is being considered, but things get complex because he is fighting Jose Valenzuela (13-2) in Los Angeles on August 3. He would face off against Shakur Stevenson (21-0).
Luis “Pantera” Nery (35-2) will face Stephen Fulton (21-1) and Luis “Venado” Lopez (30-2) will face Brandon Figueroa (25-1-1). These are the other two bouts.
September 14, the weekend of Mexico’s Independence Day, is possible if the fight proceeds according to Saul Alvarez’s typical timetable.
