Canelo Alvarez suffers potentially big setback in boxing comeback

Boxing sensation Canelo Alvarez may not be returning in early 2026, as had been initially suggested.

As we know, Canelo Alvarez is coming off the back of a big defeat at the hands of Terence Crawford in their superfight last month. While Canelo wasn’t exactly dominated, it was certainly a solid victory for Crawford who, in the eyes of many, didn’t really stand a chance as a result of the size difference between the two men. Alas, he got the job done, and he sent Canelo back to the drawing board.

Soon after the fight, it was revealed that Canelo Alvarez would be undergoing elbow surgery in order to fix a lingering issue.
