Terence Crawford on Canelo Alvarez

Terence Crawford is set to face Israil Madrimov on August 3 for the vacant WBA title, but he is already eyeing a potential super fight against Canelo Alvarez. Crawford expressed that a matchup with Alvarez, which would require him to move up to 168 pounds, holds greater significance for his legacy and finances compared to a fight with IBF champion Jaron 'Boots' Ennis. He emphasized the importance of securing his legacy and financial future as he nears the end of his career, stating, "Canelo's going to bring way more to my legacy; way more to my bank account." Although Ennis has been vocal about wanting a fight, Crawford seems uninterested, prioritizing the more lucrative and prestigious bout with Canelo. Crawford's comments come amidst his ongoing discussions with promoter Turki Alalshikh about future opportunities under the Riyadh Season banner. The boxing community is watching closely, as Crawford's decisions could shape the landscape of the sport moving forward.
