UFC champion Ilia Topuria calls out Canelo Álvarez: Give me the opportunity.
Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria once again expressed his desire to cross over to professional boxing and face the winner of the upcoming fight between Mexican superstar Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez and Terence Crawford. Topuria said his goal is to face Álvarez, whom he has considered a role model and idol for years. The Spanish-Georgian fighter hopes the UFC will allow him to follow in the footsteps of Conor McGregor, who fought and lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in August 2017 while under contract with the mixed martial arts promoter. Topuria said he feels ready to compete in the boxing ring and that this is the ideal opportunity to do so. 'Why not me? I would love to box against the winner of Canelo and Crawford. But if I could choose, I want Canelo. He was my idol for many years and I feel I can do it,' Topuria told reporters. 'Let's do it, now is the best time.' Topuria, who knocked out Charles Oliveira in June to win his second UFC belt, is enjoying the best moment of his career. He has knocked out figures such as Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, establishing himself as one of the biggest stars in mixed martial arts. However, he is now turning his attention to boxing and wants to prove that he can also excel in the ring. His prediction for the fight between Álvarez and Crawford, which will take place on Sept. 13 in Las Vegas, is that the Mexican will win. 'Canelo, obviously. He's a role model for me. I want my chance against him,' Topuria said. "I feel like I can beat him. If I get the chance to fight him, why not? Come on, [Saudi Arabian promoter] Turki [Alalshikh], give me the chance to win the title." For his part, Canelo responded respectfully when asked about Topuria but did not commit to a fight. 'I haven't seen him fight a full fight, but I like him a lot, I respect him, and I admire him. We'll see. First things first, right now I'm focused on what's in front of me,' This article first appeared in Spanish via L.A. Times en Español.

Mexico Beats USA In A Soccer Final Again, This Time 5-0
Mexico Mexico Beats USA In A Soccer Final Again, This Time 5-0 Updated Aug. 11, 2025 3:11 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Mexico keeps on winning soccer silverware over the United States, this time with a blowout win. Mexico's Under-15 boys' team beat its U.S. counterpart 5-0 in Sunday's 2025 Concacaf Boys' Under-15 Championship for a second straight title in that competition. All five of Mexico's goals in the tournament's final – played in Alajuela, Costa Rica – were scored by Mexican-American players. Juan Carlos Martínez Jr., who had two goals in the final and won the Best Player Award, was born in California and plays for the LA Galaxy Academy. Mexico's three other goals in the final were scored by: Paxon Ruffin, born in Florida, who plays in the youth ranks of Liga MX club Monterrey; Da'vian Kimbrough (Sacramento FC academy); and Lisandro Torres (LAFC Academy). Kimbrough and Torres were also born in California. It's been a banner year for El Tri's soccer teams, especially on the men's senior side. Mexico won its first Concacaf Nations League title in March over Canada, snapping the U.S. men's national team's hold on that competition. Mexico then followed that by winning its 10th Concacaf Gold Cup in July with a 2-1 win over the USMNT. ADVERTISEMENT Along with the U-15 title, Mexico also won the Under-20 Concacaf title on Aug. 5. That was Mexico's 14th U-20 crown and its first since the 2015 edition. The U.S. had won the previous three editions. Mexico and the U.S. are serving as co-hosts (along with Canada) for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, and it's great to see the rivalry and talent on the pitch between the two sides continue to grow for years to come. share Get more from the Mexico Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more
