Image: BoMac Says Crawford Will Keep His Belts and Not Face Benavidez

Coach Brian “Bomac” McIntyre rejected the possibility of fighting David Benavidez Terenka Crawford after the victory of Buda nad Canelo Alvarez last Saturday evening.

Fight Benavidez is not happening

“Bomac”, says Crawford (42-0, 31 KO) will not fight Benavidez, nor will he leave the unquestioned lanes of the medium-sized championships he won. He claims that they will sit with the titles, wait and return to the gym.

Turks Alalshikh published it Social media Last night: “Can David Benavidez still earn 168 pounds?”

Fans interpreted this comment, which means that Turki wants Benavidez for the first defense of his unquestioned medium -sized championships. This makes sense because it is a fight that would sell to the American audience.

If Crawford and Bomac have ideas for manually choosing a pretender in 168, so that he can fight the next, hoping that he will receive similar money he received for Canelo, it doesn’t happen. Turki’s post about Benavidez is a sentence that the fight between him and Crawford would sell on PPV.

“Bomac” probably hopes that Turks Alalshikh will offer Crawford a rematch from Canelo (63-3-2, 39 KO), inactive Jermall Charlo or a fight against the chaPC President WBC 168-pound Hamzah Sheeraz. These would be huge payments for Crawford and the fight that he would have a good chance of winning.

Risky fighting for Bud

“No, we don’t conduct this fight,” said Brian “Bomac” McIntyre Warrior Asked if Terenka Crawford would agree to fight David Benavidez.

No lane release

“No, we are not going to leave the lanes. Let’s just sit where we have to sit for a minute and then return to the gym,” said Bomac.

Crawford may soon start releasing the titles because Oslyys Iglesias is already mandatory IBF. If IBF orders this fight, I do not believe that Terenka would agree to face him. Southpaw Iglesias strikes too challenging and has a better stab and reach for landing from the outside.

Bomac rejects Ennis’s “shoes”

“He doesn’t want it,” said “Bomac” asked if Crawford could fight Jaron “Boots” Ennis. “He is not a Crawford Bud. Bringing it was good for Canelo, but it did not bring anything good in battle,” said McIntyre about the fact that Alvarez brought Ennis to assist him prepare for Crawford.

This is one way to avoid a risky opponent. Just say, “He doesn’t want it.” The truth is that Ennis wants to fight Crawford and will take this fight if it is offered.

ENNISA promoter Eddie Hearn has already said that they would fight Crawford. They want this fight and jumped to fight him.

“If I was Terenka Crawford, I would give up my belt. Because we are compulsory, we press on this fight and he will have to leave,” said Hearn to call the magazine about the fight of Ennis in the eliminator of the 154-Funt WBA against UISMA Lima on October 11, 2025.

Paulie Malignaggis Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi's Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.

Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.

Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.

Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.

“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.

“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”

Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
