Turki Al-Sheikh, the head of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority, has announced that he is no longer pursuing a collaboration with renowned Mexican boxer Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Alalshikh wrote on social media:
Just wrapped up an important meeting now with my team, planning for the upcoming fights that we will make for 2024-2025. I decided to disregard the Canelo fight, as I don’t want it anymore. Instead, I will be focusing for the US market with bigger fights, especially for the legend Crawford.
Canelo's most recent fight was against Jaime Munguia in May of this year. Saul won that fight by unanimous decision. His professional boxing record now stands at 61 wins (39 by knockout), 2 losses, and 2 draws.
