As boxing undergoes significant changes, particularly with the Saudi investments and the emergence of TKO, Canelo Alvarez is seizing opportunities that come with these transformations.

Alvarez, the biggest name in global boxing, has signed a multi-fight deal with adviser Turki Alalshikh. This deal positions him to debut in Saudi Arabia against IBF titleholder William Scull on May 3, with additional plans in the works, hinting at future big fights including potential matchups against renowned figures like Terence Crawford.

“I think it’s good for the fighters if TKO ensures their welfare, especially since many promoters neglect their responsibilities. This is beneficial for boxing and for fighters, especially,” commented Alvarez, highlighting the impact this move could have on the sport.

This moment marks a significant phase for Alvarez as he aims to solidify his legacy in the boxing world, amidst changing landscapes and his commitment to stay in the super middleweight division.
