According to reports this evening, a blockbuster fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is no longer expected to take place — despite claims a verbal agreement between both teams had been reached for a showdown in Las Vegas this summer.
Canelo, a current super middleweight champion, was reportedly set to make his return to action later this year in a stunning super fight with undefeated world champion, Crawford at an event in Las Vegas — with the duo meeting in one of the most-anticipated boxing clashes in recent memory.
And overnight, according to a report from The Ring Magazine, Mexican pugilist, Canelo had agreed verbally — as did Crawford to fight each other at a date yet to be confirmed in ‘Sin City’.
