Canelo Alvarez's upcoming September 13 fight against Terence Crawford is dividing opinions. Some fans and experts are siding with Alvarez, with others picking Crawford to get the job done. The undisputed super middleweight title clash is one of the most awaited boxing fights in recent memory.

Canelo has also long been linked with a bout against newly-crowned WBC light-heavyweight champion David Benavidez, who has called for a showdown with the Mexican icon for a number of years, dating back to when he was the mandatory challenger to Canelo’s WBC super-middleweight title.

LAS VEGAS – Amid talk from boxing power brokers that the uncertainty over the setting for the Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford megafight is “holding the sport hostage,” another turn rocked officials connected to the event on Friday.
