Turki Alashikh plans to match Canelo Alvarez against Hamzah Sheeraz or Chris Eubank Jr. in February, after his fight against Terence Crawford.
Canelo fights Sheeraz or Eubank?
The idea failed to resonate with the fans, who consider Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KB) and Eubank Jr. as mediocre fighters who were carefully maneuvered during their career.
These are not real high -level calibers. It is quite serious that Canelo was confronted with Crawford on September 13. The use of tomato, Sheeraz or EUBANK JR. can be scratched the bottom of the barrel for Alvarez.
After Hamzah’s controversial draw against WBC’s average weight champion Carlos Adames, last February in Riyadh, American fans have no interest in seeing him fight. He is considered a classic example of a threshing media work.
Alashikh is planning Canelo’s next fight
“Then we have the second fight in February for Canelo. This is a main fight. It’s going to be against one of the two options, Sheeraz or Eubank,” Turki Alashikh told Turki Ring Magazine.
Turki has already upset the fans by placing Edgar Berlanga against Sheeraz as the main event of the July 12 event next month on Dazn PPV in Queens, New York .. Bad sales of tickets for the event clearly show that fans are not interested in watching this fight. It’s no longer a preliminary level match.
Canelo needs Benavidez, Janibek
People want to see the Mexican star Canelo prove that he has a spine by fighting David Benavidez, not Hamzah or Eubank Jr. in Gimme Fights. If Canelo does not have the backbone to fight Benavidez, he should face Janibek Alimkhanuly. Alvarez would probably oppose his veto with the idea of using Janibek as an opponent because he is dangerous, not old, small or beating media.
The unbeaten champion IBF and the average weights of WBO Janibek (17-0, 12 KB) could go to 168 and give Canelo the type of combat he has not seen since his first two fights against Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017 and 2018.
Fans want real competition for the undisputed champion of average super-poles Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KB), who rolled, fighting the slightest fighters since his defeat against Dmitry Bivol in 2022.
