Terence Crawford makes serious warning if he doesn’t face Canelo Álvarez

Over the past few years, Terence Crawford has established himself as one of boxing’s most formidable talents. Now, he has set his sights on what he believes to be the pinnacle of his career: a high-stakes fight against Mexican champion Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez.

Following his victory over Israil Madrimov to become the WBA super welterweight champion, Crawford is focused on solidifying his legacy and achieving a significant financial windfall. However, this ambition may prove challenging due to the complexities of making such a fight happen.

Crawford’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has made it clear that Crawford is singularly focused on this matchup in a recent interview with KO Artist Sports.

I don’t think Crawford fights again unless it’s against Canelo Alvarez. There will be no bouts with Vergil Ortiz, no rematches with Madrimov. He certainly won’t be fighting Boots. So, who are you going to fight?.

This statement underlines Crawford’s unwavering dedication to facing Canelo, seemingly ruling out any other potential opponents in the meantime.
