Canelo Alvarez is set to challenge for Christian Mbilli’s WBC super-middleweight world title in October, hoping to return to the 168lb throne at the first time of asking, but there is now another contender who is eyeing up a Canelo fight, under one condition.

Instead, Crawford revealed there was no rematch clause in the contract, and no one from Canelo’s side ever attempted to make a second fight.

Still to this day, nobody have said nothing about Canelo,” said Crawford to The Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM. When asked if he would…

The Egyptian will be a huge miss for Liverpool, having enjoyed a glittering nine-year spell on Merseyside. On the final day of last season, Salah provided the assist for Curtis Jones’ goal against Brentford, overhauling Steven Gerrard as Liverpool’s all-time leading assister in the Premier League,…
