Hamza Shiraz still wants the Battle of Canilo Alvarez in 2026 despite his loss, with Terring Crowford as a backup plan

Hamza Shiraz says that the battle between him and Canilo Alvarez is still possible in early 2026, despite the loss of the Mexican star against Terins Croford last Saturday evening. Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 KOS) is not sure whether Caneo wants to return to the ring in February.

Hamza states that he wants to fight Crowford (42-0, 31 KOS) for his four-weight belts, the four average weight after that if he does not get the battle of Canelo. It is a mandatory WBC for this belt.

Shiraz in the Battle of Canilo

“I can still fight Canilo. Hamza Shiraz said to Ring Magazine About him is still interested in fighting Canilo Alvarez, despite losing to Terring Cruford last Saturday.

It will be interesting if Caneo finished fighting sheeraz after that, instead of a match with Crawford or Dmitry Bivol. Alvarez did not make any hints after the fighting last Saturday about who wanted to fight after that.

If Caneo chooses not to fight a match with Crawford, Sheeraz will be an excellent choice. Canelo should be more aggressive than he showed against Crowford, and he could not fade in the tournament rounds.

Shiraz will be more dangerous to Cruvord Alvarez because of its size, strength, speed and aggression.

Hamza Challenge to Croford

“I love the bullet on the titles. Crawford got it at the moment.

There is an opportunity for Hamza to be able to get a title against Crowford, but that depends on his desire for this match. If you decide to do the Canelo match against Crawford, it will remove the possibility of a Sheeraz title. Craofford coach, Brian Boumak “McCaine, can get some inputs about whether he will agree to fight Shiraz.

Last Sunday, Pomak explained that he was not interested in David Benefidaz as the next Kraovord opponent. He also rejected the possibility of a battle between Croford and Jarun “Bots” Eins, saying that the Philadelphia citizen did not want to fight him. That was “bomac” talking about “shoes”, a clear indication that Mcintyre did not want the battle. There are a lot of risks to fighting Crovord in rapid improvement.

Shiraz looks not defeated to Croford as “The King of Sports” Now after his victory over Canilo. He can now get the largest battles that were far from hand throughout these years.

Hamzah is a mandatory WBC competitor for the medium weight title that Cruford holds now. Therefore, even if it rid the belts, Sheeraz will be at the front of the line for the battle for them against the highest -ranked competitor. It will be No. 2, Jemy Monguoya.

The future of belts

Shiraz says: If Cruford edits the four titles 168 by evacuating it for any reason, it will “open the section.” Competitors can struggle for the four belts, and we will soon have a position where there are four heroes.

This will be useful for boxing because it provides more opportunities for interesting battles compared to the way it is now, with Crawford carrying all four belts. If he returns to the fighting schedule once a year, this will be the worst thing possible for the 168 pounds section. He was sitting on the titles, just as it was with a belt of his weight in WBA Junior after seizing it 13 months ago on August 3, 2024.

Sheeraz is not sure whether Crawford will retire and give up its four titles. It indicates that it is now time to “benefit” in terms of work after beating Caneo. He can earn a lot of money by confronting fighters like Hamza.

Shiraz says he will be open to Diego Bacciko’s fight in one of the international titles or in the defense of the title. However, he suspects that Pacheco will stay in 168 for a longer period because it is rapidly exceeding the degree.
