After reports that a long-discussed bout between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford was inching toward being finalized, a new report from The Ring Magazine claims that those negotiations have fallen apart.

One day, the mega-fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is on; the next day, it’s off. The latest update indicates there's been a significant snag.

In the wake of Canelo Alvarez finalizing a deal to face Jake Paul on May 3 in Las Vegas, attempts to make a fight between Alvarez and Terence Crawford have been suspended, sources told ESPN.
