Canelo Alvarez<\/a> is gearing up for his monumental showdown with Terence Crawford.<\/p>\n

It was confirmed earlier this month that the 34-year-old from Guadalajara, Mexico will lock horns with Crawford on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

Canelo will defend his undisputed super-middleweight championship against the 37-year-old from Omaha, who is making the jump up in two weight classes from his last outing for this mega-fight.<\/p>\n

Despite being in preparations for what could be one of the toughest tests of his career,<\/a> something he has admitted himself, Canelo is already being pencilled in for the third fight in his Riyadh Season deal.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Ring Magazine<\/a>, the man behind the deal, Turki Alalshikh, outlined what he wants to come next for Canelo after he closes the book on his rivalry with Crawford.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have the second fight if everything goes right in February for Canelo \u2026 It\u2019s May fight, it is going to be against one of the two options, [Hamzah] Sheeraz or [Chris] Eubank Jr, I am thinking like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chris Eubank Jr<\/a> is coming off the most high-profile win of his career, beating familial rival Conor Benn over the distance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Though the pair are heading towards a rematch, he has made it clear that he wants Canelo after that.<\/p>\n

Hamzah Sheeraz makes his super-middleweight debut next month against former Alvarez victim Edgar Berlanga, with a statement performance setting up the clash Alalshikh wants to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canelo Alvarez is gearing up for his monumental showdown with Terence Crawford.
