Terence Crawford recently claimed victory over Canelo Alvarez and has since dismissed any talk about a rematch. He's focusing instead on his next potential match in March 2026, reveling in his triumph over Canelo from September 13, 2025.
Crawford now holds the title of super middleweight world champion, and he'll be turning 39 by September next year. With rumors swirling, boxing enthusiasts have their eyes set on his next steps. Prominent journalist Chris Mannix shared that Crawford aims for another event in March, which keeps fans guessing about who might step into the ring with him next.
Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh has shown reluctance toward paying between 20 to 50 million dollars for an exhibition fight involving Crawford. Budget constraints lead to a potential hiccup for those eager to see Crawford return to action in Saudi Arabia.
Canelo Alvarez, known for representing Mexico proudly in every bout, possibly looks at setting up his own spectacle around May 2026. His national pride and grit keep him battling forward, regardless of recent setbacks.
Crawford's pursuit of further greatness involves choosing opponents carefully. Names like Cuban Osleys Iglesias and Cameroonian-Canadian Christian Mbilli have floated around but were ultimately deemed too risky for such ambitions due to their prowess. Crawford remains circumspect about facing younger fighters capable of threatening his legacy as one of the best fighters ever.
The boxing world will continue to buzz as it eagerly waits for both champions' decisions regarding their future endeavors under the lights.
