Matchroom Boxing kingpin Eddie Hearn believes a super-fight between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford can happen in 2025, but only in America. Hearn, who has previously worked with ‘Canelo’, believes the fight only works in America and not in Saudi Arabia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canelo vs Terence Crawford Super-Fight Rumours Gather Momentum<\/h2>\n

Rumours of a Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez vs Terence Crawford super-fight have hit new heights, after both fighters were separately pictured with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh<\/a> recently in London.<\/p>\n

Both fighters reportedly had separate meetings with the Saudi Arabia boxing<\/a> chief, but fans are speculating as to what the meetings have been about. Given that a potential Canelo vs Crawford fight has been discussed previously, 99% of fans feel the fight is edging closer.<\/p>\n

Should a fight between the great ‘Canelo<\/a>‘ and Crawford materialise, it would be one of the biggest in the sport and one that would capture the fight fan’s imagination all over the world. Whether or not the fight happens remains to be seen, but the rumours have certainly gathered pace at a rapid rate this past week.<\/p>\n

Time will tell whether or not Canelo vs Crawford happens in 2025 or not. The fight seems unlikely due to the weight differences, but that isn’t to say it won’t go ahead. His Excellency has made some incredible fights this past year to 18 months, so who’s to doubt him making Canelo vs Crawford too.<\/p>\n

The separate meetings between Turki Alalshikh and the two fighters in London have certainly heightened any previous rumours of a Canelo vs Crawford clash. Fuel has been added to the fire, and it seems that the boxing<\/a> mega-fight is closer to being announced than ever.<\/p>\n
