Terence Crawford targeted for potential boxing comeback

Saudi boxing official Turki Alalshikh has expressed strong interest in bringing retired five-division world champion Terence Crawford back to the ring. According to reports, Alalshikh’s wishlist for major matchups includes a rematch between Crawford and Canelo Alvarez, as well as a fight between Crawford and Ryan Garcia.

Crawford, who retired last December after becoming a three-weight undisputed king, remains a highly sought-after figure in the sport. While Jaron Ennis is considered a logical opponent, Alalshikh is reportedly prioritizing high-profile bouts that offer significant commercial appeal.

A return for Crawford may depend on substantial financial incentives, with some estimates suggesting a comeback could require a purse in the range of $50 million. Additionally, the feasibility of a Crawford-Alvarez rematch may be influenced by Alvarez’s upcoming bout against Christian Mbilli on October 31.
