With only six days remaining before an iconic boxing event, excitement continues to build ahead of Terence Crawford’s attempt to become undisputed three-division champion against Canelo Alvarez at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on September 13. Additionally, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has issued an unexpected challenge to fighters across America to step up.
Turki Alalshikh has played an instrumental role in orchestrating this landmark fight by signing Canelo to an attractive four-fight contract and encourages American fighters to seize their “Rocky moment” by competing in what promises to be an extraordinary night in boxing history.
Alalshikh, who is also behind the success of Riyadh Season, made an enticing proposal on social media today, inviting professional fighters in the USA to vie for an additional match on the undercard. He beckoned those ready for a traditional brawl to connect with Rick Reeno (Versace) immediately, signaling an opportunity to thrive under the bright lights of a marquee event.
The event boasts an impressive lineup, featuring bouts such as Callum Walsh versus Fernando Vargas Jr., Christian Mbilli defending his interim WBC title against Lester Martinez, Mohammed Alakel versus John Ornelas, Serhii Bohachuk against Brandon Adams, and Ivan Dychko taking on Jermaine Franklin. Additional matches include rising talents Reito Tsutsumi versus Javier Martinez, Sultan Almohamed against Martin Caraballo, Steven Nelson facing Raiko Santana, and Marco Verde up against Marcos Osorio-Betancourt. This exceptional showcase presents a golden opportunity for fighters to emerge on the world’s grandest stage, with global exposure guaranteed by a Netflix worldwide broadcast.
Focusing largely on Canelo and Crawford, opinions regarding their clash vary significantly. Edgar Berlanga – former opponent of Canelo himself – leans in favor of Crawford, while acknowledging Canelo as formidable competition yet believing his abilities to defeat Canelo will prevail. Berlanga compliments Crawford’s intelligence and skill while emphasizing the latter’s potential victory over Canelo.
As His Excellency Turki Alalshikh orchestrates an event of monumental proportion, and invites emerging talent to seize this incredible opportunity, the stakes become ever higher as only one slot remains for completion of this magical evening. Who will step forward and write their name into history of this grand occasion?
