The boxing world was left in shock today when an unexpected altercation broke out between Terence “Bud” Crawford and Canelo Alvarez at Dubai International Airport. Witnesses reported that tensions quickly escalated before Crawford landed a punch on the Mexican superstar, sparking chaos in the terminal.
According to sources, both boxers were in Dubai to take part in separate events when they crossed paths in a VIP lounge. While the exact cause of the clash is unclear, witnesses claim that an argument broke out between the two champions before Crawford threw a punch at Canelo. Security personnel immediately rushed in to break up the fight as spectators recorded the shocking incident.
Videos circulating online show an exchange of heated words before the physical altercation. Some reports suggest that the confrontation arose from recent trash talk about a possible superfight between the two boxing icons.
Despite the blow, Canelo remained calm and did not retaliate. His team quickly escorted him out of the venue, while airport security intervened to separate the two parties. No official statement has been issued from Canelo’s entourage, but sources close to the undisputed super middleweight champion indicate that he was “surprised” by Crawford’s actions.
This shocking incident only adds fuel to the fire of speculation about a possible future showdown between Crawford and Canelo. While Crawford has expressed interest in moving up in weight to challenge the Mexican star, Canelo has previously played down the idea, citing the size difference between them.
No official charges have been filed so far, but Dubai authorities are believed to be investigating the incident. It remains to be seen whether this was a personal dispute that broke out or a promotional stunt to generate buzz.
