Terenka Crawford showed his greater figure and movements, which he plans to exploit when he raises two divisions from 154 to 168 to challenge WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middle Wich Champion Canelo Alvarez [or perhaps four] Titles on September 13 in Las Vegas.

Avoidance tactics

Still looking like a younger medium weight, Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) today showed a lot of movement in its tiny training clip. It is believed that it will be larger, stronger and younger Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) to stay outside the fire line. Fans of ignorance of Crawford’s career know him mainly from the fight against Errol Spence and they mistakenly believe that he always fought aggressively in this way.

Crawford was not fighting. He was simply aggressive in this one fight, because he faced a sluggish, tired weight, broken up by the car version of Spence, which was an uncomplicated victim. Usually Crawford fights, as he did against Israil Madrimov, boxing, playing chess and making it uninteresting.

Terena will sit for a year, not fighting than to move to 168 to fight one of the best pretenders, such as Olsleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. If he did this, he could remain sharply, acclimatize to the Super Middle Wweight Division and show the fans that it is not only about obtaining a retirement withdrawal.

For boxing fans who have their heads on the shoulders, this is the only conclusion that you can draw. Crawford says that he moves to 168 to fight Canelo for heritage, to prove its size, but first does not fight in the division.

Heritage or money?

What’s more, he plans to leave the 168 pounds division after retiring or returning to 154. This makes it seem obvious that it is about money. If Crawford does not do it for money, why will he not take tuning at 168 first?

It would be great for people who order this event at PPV if Crawford came to fight rather than run on the ring, like a 154-pit Jermell Charlo, when he moved at 14 pounds to challenge Canelo’s challenge for belts in 2023. Jermell was like a larger, stronger version of Crawford, but he did not want to not mix it with Alvarez after in combat early. He spent most of the fight in motion, running and the fans were furious.

Crawford showed no power in his move to 154 of August 147 last year against Israil Madrimov, and his face looked badly dressed at the end of the fight. It was almost as bad as Vergil Ortiz Jr’s face when he fought Madrimov last Saturday.

Vergil Jr. He did a better job, defeating Madrimov than Crawford, but he was younger and more willing to get involved. Crawford fought defensively and still had many penalties.

Image: Filip Hrgovic Says Dave Allen Has “Loser Mentality”

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.

If Oleksandr Usyk loses to Verhoeven, he will immediately be stripped of his world title

Oleksandr Usyk will immediately be stripped of world title if he loses to Verhoeven

The situation surrounding all of Oleksandr Usyk’s world champion titles has already been determined before his fight with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.

The WBC controversially put its belt on the line before this fight, meaning that Verhoeven, despite having little or no chance of winning, could win the belt in May 23 in Egypt.

The WBA announced today that the fight will count as a successful world title defense if Usyk wins, but the challenger will not be able to claim the belt, even if it causes seismic shocks. If this happens, a committee will meet on next steps.

The IBF has taken a similar stance, but while Verhoeven cannot win that title either, the sanctioning body will immediately declare the heavyweight belt vacant if Usyk loses.

The conditions under which Usyk can fight to remain champion are as follows:

1. If Usyk loses on May 23, 2026, the IBF heavyweight title will be immediately declared vacant.

2. If Usyk wins on May 23, 2026, the IBF will recognize the WBC’s position in the rotation and will order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

3. If the WBA grants special permission, the IBF will recognize the WBA’s position in the rotation and order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

4. The IBF reserves the right to change the mandatory deadline in the event of significant delays in the rotation.

After the fight with Verhoeven, Usyk will be ordered to face WBC mandatory Agit Kabayel, and promoter Frank Warren is sure that he will be stripped of the belt if he does not fulfill his obligation.

O’Shaquie Foster sparks reaction with Fight Week Physique photo

Shakur Stevenson not in a hurry to face O'Shaquie Foster.

Some praised Foster’s conditioning and predicted a good performance against Ford, while others doubted whether the WBC super featherweight champion would pull too much weight before the defense.

Foster rarely receives as much attention as some of the bigger names in the lower weight classes, but a viral photo has brought him back into the conversation online. Fans debated whether Ford would be able to handle Foster’s strength and physicality after moving from featherweight to fighting.

The fight was already generating attention due to the Houston setting and the tension between the two fighters online, but Foster’s photo from training sparked even more discussion about the DAZN card. Houston fans are expected to turn out in immense numbers for the event at the Fertitta Center, which will be one of the biggest hometown shows of Foster’s career.

Foster gained more attention after his victory over Stephen Fulton, with many fans hoping he would stay at lightweight and continue pushing for a fight with Shakur Stevenson.

Instead, Foster returned to 130 pounds, and talk of fighting Stevenson gradually died down.

A powerful performance against Ford could change that quickly, especially if Foster delivers the kind of performance fans now expect after seeing the state he appears to be in heading into the fight.
