Canelo Álvarez and Chris Eubank Jr. will face off in a big boxing match at Wembley Stadium in 2026. The event will be one of the largest boxing events England has ever seen.
Álvarez lost his championship belt to Terence Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The fight drew 70,000 fans. For the first time in seven years, Álvarez doesn't hold a championship belt. He's now looking ahead to new goals for the coming year.
The Wembley Stadium event will likely fill over 90,000 seats. Álvarez has a strong record against British fighters. He's beaten Billy Joe Saunders, Callum Smith, Liam Smith, Matthew Hatton, and Amir Khan. His track record shows he's been dominant against top UK competitors.
Álvarez is known as one of the greatest boxers in history. His unique style makes any fight he's in a must-watch event. His recent loss to Crawford was tough. At times, Crawford seemed to dominate him. This has led to a lot of talk about Álvarez's current form and his future in boxing.
Eubank Jr. has a fight coming up against Conor Benn in November. It's part of a two-fight series. To get the chance to face Álvarez, Eubank Jr. will need to win against Benn again.
The 2026 fight might be part of Álvarez's retirement tour. It could be one of his last fights before he hangs up his gloves for good.
