Without retirement, without surrendering: The Post-Canelo Plan of Turki Alshikh for Terence Crawford

Turki Alralikh told Terence Crawford on Saturday that he did not want to retire after his great fight against Canelo Alvarez on September 13 at the Allegant Stadium de Las Vegas.

Alralhikh’s challenge in Crawford

Fans believe that the 38-year-old Soon to-Is-to-era Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) will hang the victory or loss after his challenge against Super Middleweight Caneight’s indisputable champion (63-2-2, 39 kos).

Investment and Vision of Alralhikh

Turki has invested a lot of money in Crawford since last year, putting it into a position to become three times the indisputable champion against aging Canelo (63-2-2, 39 kos). With the millions that Turki has invested in Crawford, one of his favorite fighters, it is understandable that he does not want to see him out of sunset after the struggle on Saturday.

While visiting Crawford at the training session at the UFC Performance Institute of Las Vegas on September 6, 2025, Turki said, “Deliver the job” Against Canelo on September 13. “The job has not yet done. But listen, No retirement ”, Turki said to want Terence to continue fighting after his super fight against Canelo.

Alralhikh clearly wants Crawford to defend the 168-pound indisputable championship two or three times if he is victorious against Alvarez or returns to 154 to try to become an indisputable champion of four divisions. This would be impressive if Crawford could get this feat.

It would be a good idea for Canelo to say that it marks a removal to avoid losing a decision in Crawford. The last thing Alvarez needs is to finish leaving Crawford and having his legacy worn out of the defeat. Dmitry Bivol and Floyd Mayweather Jr. It is a thing, but it is much worse if you lose the smaller Crawford and older than 37.

The Gauntlet at 168

If Crawford decided to follow Turki’s advice from continuing his career, he would face this fighters disgust in 168 to make three defenses:

1. Christian Milli
2. Osley Iglesias
3. Diego Pacheco

It may be impossible to overcome the SouthPaw Iglesias of SouthPaw (14-0, 13 ko). Iglesias hits both with both hands, and is young at the age of 27. Returning to SouthPaw will not help Terence against Osley because this is his posture. It is a left side and its reach is identical to that of Crawford at 74 inches. So Bud cannot count on using his fist to dominate him as he has done against short armed fighters throughout his career.

Assuming that Crawford gets this gauntlet in 168, he will have achieved a lot. This would make him a candidate for the big list of all time.

The way to all time

The hard part of Crawford would be to return to the mid-junior weight division to try to become an indisputable champion of four divisions. To achieve it, Crawford should defeat these three champions:

• Sebastian Fundora: WBC
• Xander Zayas: Wbo
• Bakhram Murtazaliev: IBF

To beat all champions in 154, Crawford cannot afford to take a break between each struggle. He would be in his early 40’s when he faces the final champion in the weight class, and probably too old to become an indisputable champion of four divisions if it goes so far.
