To this day, Canelo ochelvarez He only confirmed that he would face Edgar Berlanga on September 14 In Las Vegas and in the following places he no longer has anything for sure, although the unified middleweight champion has never said about suitors. Recently she has mainly attributed two ‘boyfriends’: David Benavidez and Terence Crawford. In favor of the second, he plays not only his impeccable pedigree, but also a duel that a priori has the support of the new boxing leader, Sheikh Turki al-Sheikh, Although agreeing on the numbers will be a difficult issue.
The truth is that the last few hours are being hectic, as The World Boxing Federation has officially ordered Sebastian fondura to defend his welterweight and BW world titles in a unified fight against Crawford. Bud currently holds the WBA championship belt in this category which he took from Israil madremov and also has a provisional WBA.
Fundura Meadows, Sampson Lekovic, It is not taken for granted that the person from Omaha accepts this challenge, because he assures that he has in mind the large amount that he could receive if he faced Canelo. During the summer he confirmed that Fundura has reached an agreement to measure up to Errol Spence, With whom he has been negotiating for months, and he will have to abandon this path now and go against Crawford if he does not want the WBA champion title to be handed directly to his rival. The Spence option is not bad, but the ‘bud’ one is much better.
And how does this affect Canelo? After facing Berlanga, if everything goes as he wants, he will not return to the ring as usual until May 2025. In Boxing Scene They got the answer of the Jalisco man , regarding how to frame an alleged fight against Crawford, now that he is obliged to measure himself towards fondora: “I’m not saying that the fight (against Crawford) can’t happen. The system does not matter.”. After September 14, the picture will become clearer and maybe in 2025 we will see the grand duel. Of course, Terence should try himself in the super-middle before fighting the king of this class.
