EastSideBoxing 8 hours ago By ESB – 12/19/2024 – Comments Turki Alalshikh says he’s working on a fight for Terence Crawford in 2025. Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is recovering from an injury and starting to train again. Alalshikh wants to meet with Crawford in January to “discuss” a fight. Turki’s Crawford Plans Turki says he still hopes to organize a fight between Crawford and unified three-belt super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in 2025. He will see if he can do so in the next month or two. Crawford, 37, has been pushing for the fight with Canelo, but he may have to look in another direction if Alalshikh can’t set up a fight with the Mexican star. There are the 154-lb champions Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fundora, who would be ideal for WBA junior middleweight champion Crawford to fight in a unification. “I think he’s injured now. We were planning on having something with him. I will discuss with him maybe in January,” said Turki Alalshikh to Fight Hub TV, talking about Terence Crawford. “I saw him last week in Hamburg. He said he has a little injury, and he’s starting to rehab now, and he’s training again. “He’s one of our plans to see him fight in 2025. We hope. He wants this fight, so why not,” said Turki when asked if the goal is for a fight between Crawford and Canelo Alvarez next year. “We will see in the next month or two months. Let’s see,” said Turki about his possible negotiation with Canelo. Boxing News | Turki to Meet Crawford in January to Discuss 2025 Plans Last Updated on 12/19/2024 Read the full article here Share:
