Hamzah Sheeraz Still Wants Canelo Alvarez Fight in 2026 Despite His Loss, With Terence Crawford As A Backup Plan

Hamzah Sheeraz Says A Fight Between Him and Canelo Alvarez Remains for Early 2026, Despite the Mexican Star’s Loss to Terence Crawford Last Saturday Night. Sheez (22-0-1, 18 kos) Is unsure IF Canelo Will Want to Return to The Ring in February.

Hamzah States That He’d Like To Fight Crawford (42-0, 31 Kos) for His Four Super Middleweight Belts Next If He Doesel Fight. He’s The WBC Mandatory For That Belt.

Sheeraz on The Canelo Fight

“I Could Still Fight Canello. I Don’t Know He Would Fight As Soon As February, Though, “Said Hamzah Sheezaz Ring magazine About Him Still Being Interested in Fighting Canelo Alvarez Despite His Loss to Terence Crawford Last Saturday.

That would be interested in Canelo Wound Up Sheering Sheeraz Next, Rather Than A Rematch With Crawford or Dmitry Bivol. Alvarez didn’t give any hints after the Fight Last Saturday About Who Wants to Fight Next.

IF Canelo Chooses Not to Fight A Crawford, Sheez Would Be An Excellent Choice. Canelo Would Have A Lot More Aggressive Than He Showed Against Crawford, And He Could Do Afford to Fade in the Championship Rounds.

Sheeraz Would Be More Dangerous For Alvarez Than Crawford Due to His Size, Power, Speed, And Aggressiveness.

Hamzah’s Challenge to Crawford

“I’d Just Like A Shot at The Titles. I’m Him Fighting Him. Sheeraz.

There’s a Chance That Hamzah Could Get A Title Shot Against Crawford, But That Would Be Depend On Turkey AlaShikh Wanting That Matchup. If He Decides to Do The Canelo Vs. Crawford Rematch, It Would Remove The Possibility of Shotaz Getting a Title Shot. Crawford’s Trainer, Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre, Could Have Some Input Whether He’d Age Fighting to Bud Fighting.

Last Sunday, ‘Bomac’ Made it Clear He’s Not Interested in David Benavidez As Crawford’s Next Opponent. Hey Also Dissed The Possibility of A Fight Between Crawford and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, saying that the Philadelphia Native Doesn’t want to Fight Him. That’s ‘Boots’ for ‘Boots,’ Which Is a Clear Signal That’s McIntyre Who Doesn’t Want Fight. There’s a Lot of Risk for Crawford Fighting The Rapidly Improving Ennis.

The Unbeaten Sheeraz Views Crawford As the “King of the Sport” Now following His Win Over Canelo. He can now get The Biggest Fights That Have Been Out of His Reach All These Years.

Hamzah is The WBC Mandatory Challenger for The Super Middleweight Title That Crawford Now Holds. So, Even’s IF HE vacates The Belts, Shethers Will Be At The Front Of The Line For The Against The Highest-Ranked Available Contender. That would # 2, Jaime Munguia.

Future of the Belts

If Crawford Frees Up The Four 168 Titles Vacating Them for Whatever Reason, It’Ll “Open Up The Division,” Says Sheeraz. The Contenders Can Fight For The Four Belts, And We Would Sonate Where There Are Four Champions.

That would be beneficial for Boxing Because It Gives More Opportunities Interesting Fights Compared to the Way Now, With Crawford Holding All Four Belting. If He Returns to His Once-a-Year Schedule Of Fighting, That Would Be The Worst Possible Thing for the 168-LB Division. He Would Sit On The Titles, Just As He Had WBA Junior Middleweight Belt After Capturing It 13 months ago on August 3, 2024.

Sheeraz isn’t Sure IF Crawford Will Retire and Give Up His Four Titles. He Points Out That Now is The Time For Him To “Capitalize” Terms of Business Following His Win Over Canelo. He can make a Lot of Money by Taking Fighters Like Hamzah.

Sheeraz Says He’d Be Open to Fighting Diego Pacheco for One Of The World Titles or Title Defense. Howver, He Doubts Pacheco Will Stay at 168 Much Because He’s Quickly Outgrowing The Division.
