Turki on Canelo vs. Crawford Fight: "Only the three of us know what, when, and where it will happen"

Turki Alalshikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, added to the mystery surrounding a potential fight between WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) and WBA junior middleweight champion Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs).

Alalsheikh shared a snippet of a video call featuring himself, Canelo, and Crawford.

"This was a few days ago, and we weren’t even talking about boxing… We were discussing the video game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, which releases on April 24, 2025.

I challenged them to the game—it’s the only arena where I can compete with them when it comes to fights. They accepted my challenge, and we agreed that the loser buys dinner.

We also decided that a boxing match won’t happen because all three of us hate boxing. Instead, we opted for yoga.

Keep talking and spreading rumors, but in the end, only the three of us know what, when, and where it will actually happen," Alalshikh wrote.

Previously, an insider named the most likely month for a potential fight between Canelo and Crawford.
