Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford could be set for a blockbuster showdown in 2025.
After a lot of rumours throughout the first half of 2024 that the two pound-for-pound stars could step into the ring with one another, talks appeared to die down as the year progressed, and it seemed that boxing fans would not get to see the match-up.
In recent weeks, rumours have began to swirl once again that the fight could be in contention, with both Canelo and Crawford looking for opponents for next year.

The fight would see current WBA super-welterweight champion Crawford step up another two weight classes to go up against reigning unified super-middleweight champion Canelo.
One man who knows each fighter extremely well is welterweight contender Alexis Rocha, who has sparred both ‘Bud’ and Alvarez throughout his career.
Rocha has given his take on the potential clash whilst speaking to ESNews, and made it clear which man he would have to give the edge to.
“There are weight classes for a reason. Canelo is a lot bigger. Crawford has a good size to him and has that reach, and the boxing IQ. That is the most important thing when it comes to the boxing game, the IQ.
“I think Crawford would hold his own very good in that fight, but I would lean more towards Canelo because he’s more experienced and has been in there with bigger fights.”
If the fight between Canelo and Crawford is to be made, the one major condition for how it could be done has recently been revealed.
