Canelo Alvarez has closed a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh and Riyadh Season to salvage the Terence Crawford mega fight in September.

The initial Jake Paul bout in May will not be a part of the four-fight deal.

Daniel Cormier made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, where the focal point of the discussion was his intriguing comparison of Boxing and MMA. In a surprising revelation, DC asserted that Boxing is actually more dangerous. He elaborated on his stance by stating:
“People always kinda scoff at me when I say boxing is more dangerous than MMA. ‘Oh, how could you say that when they’re only boxing and they can’t jump on you when you hit on the ground when you fall.’ I said I would argue with you that that’s safer than you knocking me out bang. My body, which is trained for my whole life to get up gets up. They count to 8 or 9 and they say go fight more when I’m still concussed.”
Additionally, he pointed out that in boxing, even after enduring powerful blows and being knocked out, boxers often persist in fighting, absorbing further damage until they are rendered unconscious. Conversely, in MMA, when a fighter is knocked out, the referee typically stops the fight after a few follow-up strikes on the downed opponent, ending the bout. DC contends that because boxing allows for recovery time followed by additional damage, it is inherently more brutal as a sport.
