The boxing world is already in full motion with the buildup to the super fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford on September 13.
But His Excellency Turki Alalshikh is already lining up the Mexican superstar's next bout after that.
When interviewed by DAZN at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night, Alalshikh confirmed that Alvarez could fight Hamzah Sheeraz as early next year. Plus, he provided an update for the highly-anticipated Chris Eubank Jr.-Conor Benn rematch.
"We are now discussing the rematch, Eubank-Benn," Alalshikh started saying. "We have a card in November, we have a card in December, we are now in process to have card in January.
"And we have the February card, maybe Canelo-Hamzah Sheeraz as a main event."
The undefeated Sheeraz earned these proposed plans by knocking out Edgar Berlanga in the fifth round last weekend during Alalshikh's Ring III event in Queens, New York.
Earlier in the conversation, His Excellency also gave his prediction for Saturday night's main event rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois for undisputed heavyweight glory.
"I have a feeling that the experience of Usyk can decide this fight," Alalshikh said.
