The Canelo next fight sees the all-time great take on fellow pound-for-pound boxing star Terence Crawford for undisputed status at super-middleweight in Las Vegas on September 12th.
The 34-year-old is expected to win his next fight against Crawford given the size and weight disparity, but it isn’t a foregone conclusion following Canelo’s latest lacklustre performance.
Canelo Next Fight: Mexican Faces Terence Crawford In Undisputed 168-Pound Contest
There is absolutely no question that Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is one of the greatest boxers of the 21st century. The Mexican has been boxing professional for 19 years now, having made his debut at the tender age of 15.
Since then, Canelo has gone on to rule the world in four weight division. Not only that, but he remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, and was the p4p #1 for a long period of time before losing to Dmitry Bivol back in 2022.
The Guadalajara native began his career down at welterweight, but has also fought as high as light-heavyweight too. He now campaigns at super-middleweight, where is the long-reigning, dominant and undisputed king.
Boasting a professional record of 63-2-2, Canelo Alvarez has unquestionably one of the best resumés in all of boxing. Now, at 34-years-old, he is about to embark on possibly the single biggest fight of his career.
The Canelo next fight is just around the corner, with fellow P4P great and undefeated superstar Terence Crawford set to face the great Mexican on September 12th in Las Vegas.
Crawford, who boasts an unbeaten 41-0 record, has ruled in four weight classes, two of which he became undisputed champion in too. Now a 154-pound fighter, ‘Bud’ is set to move up another two weight divisions to super-middleweight to face Canelo.
The fight tops the bill at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s next fight being one of the toughest of his career to date.
Could Canelo Fight Chris Eubank Jr Next After Crawford Undisputed Clash?
Provided the Canelo next fight results in victory, there could be some mammoth bouts planned next for the Mexican four-weight world champion.
Provided he wins his next fight against Terence Crawford, Canelo would then embark on 2026 with any number of options.
He seems to fight twice a year nowadays, so a bout after the Crawford one in September will likely come around Cinco de Mayo next year for the undisputed 168-pound king.
One of those men who Canelo could fight next, provided he beats Terence Crawford, could be Britain’s Chris Eubank Jr. After his monumental victory over bitter rival Conor Benn in April, Eubank Jr could well hold out until next year for the Canelo fight.
Canelo vs Eubank Jr is most definitely a fight that His Excellency Turki Alalshikh would be willing to make. Weight wise the fight makes total sense too, with Eubank seemingly looking to move back up to super-middleweight provided he doesn’t retire.
Canelo has talked about fighting in the UK in the next year or two, so a dance with Eubank Jr makes total sense. Eubank is a huge name and arguably the biggest in the UK outside of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, so it is a lucrative fight that would do huge numbers.
First though, Canelo’s next fight must result in victory against Terence Crawford on September 12th in their undisputed world super-middleweight title clash in Las Vegas.
