As journalist Michael Coppinger reports, Terence Crawford is now a free agent. Crawford signed with Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions for one fight against Errol Spence, and the rematch planning window that was included in the contract for the first fight has expired. All this means that Crawford is now a free agent, both through his relations with promoters and through television channels.
According to journalist Michael Coppinger, Saul Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) has reached a “mutual agreement” with Al Haymon and will not compete at his Premier Boxing Champions events this year. The parties failed to agree on the terms of the battle with Jermall Charlo, which was originally scheduled for May 4th. It is claimed that Canelo will now face Edgar Berlanga in May and Jaime Munguia, former world junior middleweight champion, in September.
