Canelo Alvarez is open to a showdown with Terence Crawford after stating there is ‘always a chance’ when asked about a possible fight with the American.
The Mexican icon was in attendance at the 2024 Ring Magazine awards as he enjoyed a great year to enhance his already impressive credentials.
After rebuilding from a loss against Dmitry Bivol in 2022, Canelo has bounced back in superb form and has put together another excellent winning streak.
In 2024, Canelo retained his world titles at super-middleweight with victories over Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga , and now he’s looking to maintain that run this year.

One way of doing that is taking on Crawford, one of boxing’s best fighters, and he has expressed that he is more than willing to get that fight done.
Crawford has chased this battle since 2023 when he defeated Errol Spence at welterweight, and he will be taking a huge leap if he is to face Canelo.
The Nebraska man is now operating at 154lbs, and he will need to go up two weight classes if he is to secure the battle he desperately wants against Canelo.
