The fight that everyone has been waiting for might just happen in 2024 with the help of this member of the Saudi Royal Court, but it won’t be easy
Boxing fans around the globe have been eagerly awaiting this fight, and with the help of an efficient mastermind, there is a great chance it could happen.
Saudi Royal Court member Turki Alalshikh has a real shot at organizing the highly anticipated Terence Crawfordvs. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis fight. Although many boxing fans have long awaited this matchup, there are still details to iron out.
His Excellency faces some challenges in the near future because Crawford is set to face Israil Madrimov this summer. This fight is believed to be scheduled in Los Angeles, California, on the first weekend of August. Terence, a welterweight champion, will gain up to 7 more pounds to challenge Madrimov in the super welterweight division, moving from 147 to 154 pounds.

If this fight occurs and Crawford maintains his undefeated status (40-0, 42 KOs), everything points to a bout against ‘Boots’, even though he has never shown much excitement to face Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs). However, given that Terence Crawford would fight in August, there is a possibility he might not step into the ring until 2025.
Is ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in the plans of His Excellency?
Another fight that Turki Alalshikh is looking to set up involves Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, who will be battling Jaime Munguia on Saturday, May 4. Regardless of the outcome, ‘Canelo’ could face Terence Crawford soon. Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) has his eyes set on another fight in 2024, which would prevent a meeting with Crawford this year. However, with a short list of adversaries, His Excellency will be looking to capitalize on the success of the Mexican boxer early next year.

Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs), on the other hand, could suffer a significant blow to his career if he falls to ‘Canelo’, especially after not performing as well as everyone expects, based on average exhibitions in his recent fights.
More details about Crawford’s next two opponents will be revealed after this summer.
