At first, people could not take it seriously, but now things look as sedate as possible. Do not make a mistake, Canelo Alvarez and Terenka Crawford will fight in September in Las Vegas. The Friday press conference emphasized how true and how compelling this fight can be. After moving several weight activities to face the undisputed, super middle champion in Canelo, Crawford looked like his usual confident, relaxed self at the Friday press conference. “I called Canelo because he is the last great warrior among the era that surpassed us,” said Crawford. “We both entered this era. It’s my mega fight. It’s my moment.”

However, Canelo is often tranquil and confident, and the Friday press conference was no exception. “He is a great warrior,” said Canelo about Crawford, “but it’s not Canelo.” As for those who now give Crawford a chance that Canelo had only a few words to say. “He doesn’t intend to beat me,” he said. “Don’t worry about it.” Crawford did not allow these awards to pass unannutable. “These belts are coming home with me,” he said. “I take them and there is nothing that you can do with it, come to the fight.”

At the moment, Canelo is now a petite favorite to defeat Crawford. He was much more favored a few weeks ago, but now people seriously treat Crawford’s chances. First of all, Crawford is an amazing warrior and an invincible man who won the world titles numerous divisions. Secondly, there are those who feel that Canelo has lost a step and that he is not a warrior he was recently. However, Canelo did not seem concerned at the Friday press conference. In fact, it turned out to be as cold as always.

“I do what I should do in my fights,” he said “I know my skills.” One of these skills is, of course, the ability to make a shot without injury. Canelo is eminent for their endurance and strength. Crawford, however, is not impressed by Canelo’s reputation because he is able to achieve a lot of damage and not let him hurt him. “Any warrior can be knocked out,” he said. However, Crawford explained early the press conference that he did not intend to rinse without any time; That he intends to fight anyway to win with Canelo. “However, I have to fight, I will win. I will not let someone else force me or say how to fight,” said Crawford. “I will not run. I can tell you this,” he added.

Crawford did not deny that he was really challenging, rising to fight Canelo’s caliber boxer this fall. “I am a risk,” he said, “and I’m not afraid.” It is also doubtful that Canelo is afraid. None of these fighters is known for being particularly sensitive. When you have skill sets such as Canelo and Crawford, you can afford fearless.

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: "He Will Take Over"

Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.

‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.

Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.

But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.

The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.

Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.

Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.

“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”

Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.

The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.

Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
