Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is the best boxer in the world today and has been for some years. That is why everyone wants to fight him to prove that they can be the future and present of this sport, as is the case of Terence Crawford
Despite this, the great Mexican champion has no interest in fighting the American, who has taken advantage of recent days to express his desire for them to get into the ring in 2025. This is how Crawford does not give up the possibility of fighting Canelo Alvarez.
Will Canelo Alvarez fight Terence Crawford in 2025?
After Terence Crawford’s intention to fight Canelo Alvarez was revealed, they would now have to come to an agreement. However, for the great Mexican world champion, there is no need for them to meet in the ring. This is because Canelo’s silence comes in the face of a wave of rumors that he will fight the 37-year-old undefeated fighter next year
“I wouldn’t say I’m chasing Canelo. That’s an exaggeration. I just want the opportunity to fight the best fighter of my generation. He’s the most accomplished fighter in the sport right now, besides me… It’s just that I want to fight another great. That’s all. If the fight happens, I think it would be the biggest fight in the sport right now,” said ‘The Bud’ in response to the insistence led by Sheikh Turki Alalshikh, who is the main driving force behind the fight.
How many more years will Canelo Alvarez be active?
In addition, at 34 years of age, Saul Alvarez himself admitted in another interview with legendary former soccer player Hugo Sanchez that he plans to continue putting on the gloves for at least another four years, so he will have other opponents in front of him.
“From the age of 28-29, this is the age where I have felt best. I have always said that at 37 years old is a good age to enjoy what I have done with my family, other things in my career and that’s what I say; but I said I would debut at 18 and I did it at 15,” Canelo Alvarez said on the talk show ‘Hugo Sanchez Presents’ for ESPN and Disney+.
Canelo Alvarez wants to fight at the Estadio Azteca before retiring
But before thinking about leaving, Canelo warned that first he wants to organize a fight in the largest sports venue in Mexico, the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
“Yes, I’m interested in fighting at the Estadio Azteca. I would love to have a fight before I retire at the Azteca,” commented Canelo Alvarez on the last moments he plans for his successful sports career, so everything could happen after the reopening that will occur for 2026.
