The Canelo Four Struggles Plan: Scull, Crawford, Eubank Jr./benn and the unknown

Turki Alshikh is planning to have Canelo Alvarez fight against the possible winner of Chris Ebank JR and Conor Benn in 2026. These two fighters will compete twice in British powder, from April 26 in the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium in London. The fans wanted to see Canello fight the quality opposition, such as David Benavidez, not these two boys.

Turki told Sky Sports that he wants Ebank Jr-Benn’s winners to defy the Super Media Unified Canelo champion (62-2-2, 39 kos) for next year’s belts.

This movement will please UK fans, who enjoy seeing Eubank Jr. and Benn. However, none of these fighters values ​​a world title against Canelo in 168 or even a struggle in general. Give the winner of the two Eubank Jr.-Benn Fight against a title against Canelo sends the wrong message.

Sport or business?

It is similar to what we see with Terence Crawford, who advanced two classes of weight to challenge Canelo for his three belts on September 168. These fighters should overcome Super Middleweight’s top contestants to win a struggle for the three Alvarez belts.

What seems to happen is a Morfing from sports to business. Canelo’s fights against Crawford and Ebank’s winner JR-Benn are not sports fights. These are business and celebrity levels, which are OK, but it would be better for fans if Turki tag these games as such. First, we saw it with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fighting the heavy weight of MMA Francis Ngannou. Crawford and Ebank’s winner Jr-Benn are now fighting Canelo for their belts in 168. These are business fights.

United States fans do not see the Eubank Jr. 35 (34-3, 25 ko) and Benn (23-0, 14 ko) as world-class combatants. They see them as fighters of every British level, who, for any reason, never climbed worldwide. They are the children of famous British boxers and have made money in their career, although they never have a hard competition.

Enough British fans will order the winner of Canelo vs Ebank Jr-Benn on PPV to make decent numbers. He maintains that Canelo wins enough time to enter the fourth of his contract with Turki with a good chance of being 3-0. Canelo recently signed a four -fights agreement with Turki.
