Turks Alalshikh plans to fight Canelo Alvarez against the event winner Chris Eubank JR and Conor Benna’s 2026 fight. These two fighters will compete twice in British dust, starting at April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium in London. Fans wanted to see Canelo fighting a quality opposition, such as David Benavidez, not these two.
Turks told Sky Sports that he wanted the winners of EUBANK JR-BENN to cause a united supervisor in Canelo (62-2-2-2-2-2-39 KO) for their belts next year.
This move will please British fans, who enjoy watching Eubank Jr. and Benn. However, none of these fighters evaluates the world title that shot against Canel in 168 or even a fight in general. Giving the winner of two Eubank Jr.-Benn Fighting the title of the recording against Canel sends the wrong message.
Sport or job?
Similar is what we see with the Crawford Terrence in two weight classes to cause Canela for his three belts in September 168. These fighters should beat top -notch candidates in the super middleweight category to make a fight for the Alvarez three belts.
It seems to be happening is Morphing from Sports to Job. Canel’s fight against Crawford and EUBANK JR-Benn winner are not a sports level fight. These are jobs and fights at the level of celebrities, which are fine, but it would be better for fans if the Turks designate this match as such. First, we saw this that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight the MMA grave category Francis Ngannou. Crawford and winner EUBANK JR-Benn are now fighting Canela for their belts in 168. These are the fight at the business level.
US fans do not look at 35-year-old Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 ko) and Benna (23-0, 14 ko) as world class fighters. They see them as fighters at a British level who, for any reason, never entered the world level. They are children of famous British boxers and made a good money in their careers, despite never facing heavy competition.
A lot of British fans will order the winner of Canelo Vs. EUBANK JR-Benn on PPV to make decent numbers. It makes Canelo win long enough to enter the fourth contract with Turki with good chances to be 3-0. Canelo recently signed a contract with four fights with Turks.
