His Excellency, Turki Alalshikh no longer wants to make Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford.
Taking to X formerly Twitter he wrote: ‘Just wrapped up an important meeting now with my team, planning for the upcoming fights that we will make for 2024-2025. I decided to disregard the Canelo fight, as I don’t want it anymore.
Instead, I will be focusing for the US market with bigger fights, especially for the legend Crawford.’

The Mexican superstar then gave his version of events.
Canelo said he was contacted about a fight with Terence Crawford but is focused on his match against Berlanga right now.
“I don’t like the way he talks. It’s his problem, not my problem. If he wants to fight me with other guys, he needs to do it my way. Not his way,” said Canelo

The most powerful man currently in boxing fired back at the boxing legend.
On X he posted:
‘I heard what Canelo said that he respects me but doesn’t like the way we do business.
As for him respecting me, it doesn’t matter to me if he does or not.
As for the way I do business, I know why he doesn’t like it, because I only target big fights at fair prices, so of course anyone who likes easy fights won’t like that.
And I know how he feels after losing to Bivol, so he’s been looking for easier fights ever since. Also, I’m not the one who’s afraid of fighting Benavidez or Crawford.
Therefore, I knew he was wasting our time and making excuses with big amounts of money that can’t be paid.
So I’m continuing my way to make big fights that serve the boxing world, and he’s on his way to making easy show-only fights.🤷🏻♂️🥊
