Undefeated Cuban boxer David Morrell is set to make his light-heavyweight debut on August 3 against Radivoje Kalajdzic, competing for the WBA title after moving up from super-middleweight. Morrell, who has long sought a bout with Canelo Alvarez, has faced challenges in securing high-profile matches due to Alvarez's focus on other fighters. Terence Crawford stirred controversy by labeling WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez as 'trash' during a recent interview, escalating their ongoing rivalry. Crawford's disdain for Lopez follows critical remarks Lopez made about Crawford's past opponents, questioning their legitimacy. Floyd Mayweather Jr. expressed annoyance over the possibility of Canelo fighting the winner of Crawford's upcoming match against Israil Madrimov, suggesting a preference for authentic matchups rather than strategic selections. The boxing landscape is charged with tensions as these fighters navigate their careers and rivalries, with high-stakes bouts on the horizon.
