Crawford posted last night on X:
“What’s better than being Undisputed? Being Undisputed two times. What better then being Undisputed two times? Being Undisputed 3 times in three different weights.😁😁😁 now argue with yo momma.”
Turki responded directly:
“We want the rematch with Canelo 😎 maybe it is a chance to be 4😇🦁🥊”
The exchange comes months after Crawford beat Canelo by unanimous decision in September 2025 to become undisputed at super middleweight. That win made him the first fighter to achieve undisputed status in three separate weight classes.
Turki’s post pushes a clear idea: a rematch would give Crawford a chance to go one step further and attempt to become a four-time undisputed champion.
The complication is Crawford’s status. After the Canelo win, he indicated he was stepping away from the sport, leaving his future unclear. No official return has been confirmed.
Canelo also has his own direction to sort out at 168, with other opponents in play and no second fight with Crawford formally announced.
Still, Turki’s involvement is a signal that the Canelo-Crawford rematch could happen. His Riyadh Season events have driven the biggest fights in the sport over the last two years, and his public interest often turns into real negotiations.
Canelo has already confirmed his return for September 12, 2026, in Riyadh. While his trainer, Eddy Reynoso, has been floating names like Christian Mbilli, those are “safe” fights. They don’t generate the $100M+ global buzz that a Crawford rematch does.
Canelo is a prideful fighter. The sting of that unanimous decision loss in 2025 isn’t something he’ll want to leave on his record forever.
