If one of the biggest fights in boxing ends up getting made, it won’t be by Turki Alalshikh — at least, as of right now.
Following Terence Crawford’s decision win over Israil Madrimov this past weekend in Los Angeles — an event promoted by Alalshikh — it seemed like making a bout between Crawford and Canelo Alvarez was the plan for a future Riyadh Season event.
On Monday night, Alalshikh revealed that he is no longer interested in making that bout.
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.

“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 [vs. Crawford] fight, as I don’t want it anymore,” Alalshikh said. “Instead, I will be focusing for the US market with bigger fights, especially for the legend Crawford. Additionally, I will support making fights for Boots, Haney, Shakur, Ortiz, Anderson, Benavidez, Zepeda and more, regarding Tim Tszyu, there’s something unclear with the communications from his team with our team, so I believe I will reconsider his situation. and for the rest of the world, definitely, I am focusing on Riyadh Season card, wembley edition 21st of September (AJ vs. Dubois) and depending on the results and the results of Riyadh Season’s opening card (Bivol vs. Beterbiev) on the 12th of October, I will build the card for the rematch of Fury vs. Usyk on the 21st of December and another big card on the first quarter of 2025. Stay tuned.”
Alvarez is currently booked too face Edgar Berlanga on Sept. 14 in Las Vegas — the same night as UFC 306, which is the promotion’s debut event at Sphere.
Additionally, Alalshikh said he will be focused on his next card at Wembley Stadium, headlined by Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois on Sept. 21, along with other major events he has planned for the rest of the year — including the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury on Dec. 21.
