During their last encounter, Crawford defeated Canelo, which affected Canelo's positioning in the global boxing ranks. At 35 years old, Canelo has witnessed a slight dip in his standings. However, he remains undeterred and considers fighting at Estadio Azteca before retiring in two years a dream worth pursuing.

Crawford's condition for a rematch clearly reflects both confidence and business acumen. Canelo, who started boxing at 15 and famously stated, "I debuted at 18," shared during an interview with [ESPN](https://www.espn.com/), "At this age is where I have felt best." He envisions his career continuing until the age of 37. Despite his defeat, Canelo plans to step back into the ring shortly and upholds a strong desire to headline a fight in Mexico City's iconic Estadio Azteca.

The outcome of their first bout definitely shifted public interest towards what could be one of the most profitable matches in modern boxing history. Whether or not Canelo can meet these financial stipulations remains uncertain but fans around the world continue to wait in anticipation for what's next for both boxing giants.
