Turki Alalshkih teases date for Terence Crawford's next fight

Turki Alalshkih teases date for Terence Crawford's next fightMark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing

There is no doubt Terence Crawford is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world right now. 

After becoming a four-weight world champion in August by beating WBA super welterweight champion Israil Madrimov, the boxing world is Crawford's oyster. 

The American has been linked with a number of big names for his next fight, including unified super middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.

Since making his Riyadh Season debut in his fight against Madrimov, these fantasy fights are looking more plausible, but fans will have to wait a little while longer to see Crawford return to the ring. 

Appearing on DAZN's Ariel and Ade: The Boxing Show, Turki Alalshikh, the man behind the Riyahd Season events, revealed Crawford was a possibility for the recently announced February 22 card, but instead he will have to wait until later in 2025 to lace up the gloves. 

"I tried and pushed to do this fight; Crawford is not ready," Alalshikh said. 

"He has a small health issue, a little injury, but he prefers to fight with us in May or after May."

One possible opponent for Crawford if he is to fight in May could be the winner of Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Israil Madrimov who meet on the February 22 card headlined by the undisputed light heavyweight title rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
