Terence Crawford Issues Strong Warning to Ryan Garcia Following Direct Challenge

"Terence Crawford Issues Strong Warning to Ryan Garcia Following Direct Challenge"

Terence Crawford returned several hours later with an even harsher response to Ryan Garcia’s challenge, claiming the 38-year-old would punish Ryan so severely that witnesses would want the law involved.

“I’ll f*** @RyanGarcia up so bad people going to be calling the law on me talking about child abuse. Like why did you do that to that little boy you knew he was just talking for the entertainment. Here I am,” Crawford posted on X.

Ryan Garcia Dares Terence Crawford To Square Up

Ryan Garcia wants to fight Terence Crawford in the street or in the ring, daring him to settle their feud with bare knuckles. Crawford started it by calling Ryan a fake who only talks tough when his bodyguards are around.

“@RyanGarcia only talk tuff for the internet. He’s know it’s all for show. I promise if I seen him without his security guards and the cameras he’ll be a complete different person. 😂 he say I’m a bully but I was the one they got for the bullies. 😉” Crawford posted on X.

“Okay so let’s square up bro on or off the ring I’m ready to handle this,” Ryan responded.

“I’m bout to go to the gym f**k it! Don’t make me too mad I’ll be 39 in 10 Days dam.😂” Crawford posted on Xreacting to the public challenge.

Crawford mentioning his age serves as a classic two-way insurance policy veteran fighters rely on when engaging younger rivals. First, it is an obvious attempt to shame Ryan in the court of public opinion. By pointing out that he is turning 39 in ten days, Crawford paints the picture of Ryan as an opportunist barking at an older retired man.

Second, it sets up an immediate built-in excuse if they ever step into the ring and things go wrong. If Crawford fights Ryan and wins, he looks like an ageless boxing master who schooled a prime champion twelve years younger than him. If he gets caught by Ryan’s left hook and loses, the narrative shifts immediately to Father Time: Crawford was 39, long past his prime, and stepped off the couch to do it.

Veteran fighters use that trick constantly to protect their pride. It allows Crawford to dismiss Ryan publicly while simultaneously laying down the foundation for an alibi if he decides the money is too big to pass up.

Crawford has now answered Ryan’s invitation with a graphic prediction rather than an offer to negotiate a boxing match. The personal hostility is obvious. The remaining question is whether either man is prepared to turn the threats into a sanctioned fight, where Crawford’s claims would finally have consequences beyond social media.

Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli Undercard Revealed: Multiple World Title Fights Highlight Boxing Event

"Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli Undercard Revealed: Multiple World Title Fights Highlight Boxing Event"

With a few weeks to go until the event, the full undercard for Canelo Alvarez‘s clash with Christian Mbilli has finally been revealed.

Canelo hasn’t been back in the ring since he lost his undisputed super-middleweight crown against Terence Crawford in September 2025.

The Mexican superstar will now look to reclaim world honours when he challenges Mbilli for his WBC super-middleweight title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31, though there are current concerns over the card due to the ongoing security issues in the region.

As of now it is still set to go ahead as planned, and the event will feature three more world title fights after the remaining bouts on the bill were revealed, with all of them tying in with the ‘Mexico vs The World’ theme that the show is featuring.

In the co-main event, Canelo’s stablemate Jaime Munguia is set to defend his WBA super-middleweight title against Nikita Zon, though his mandatory Bektemir Melikuziev has hit out and claimed he has not agreed to step aside to allow the bout to go ahead.

Elsewhere, Rafael Espinoza defends his WBO featherweight title against Lorenzo Parra, while a vacant IBF super-lightweight title bout sees Lindolfo Delgado meet Artur Biyarslanov. Two super bantamweight stars will also be in action as David Picasso squares off with Carl Martin.

Rounding up the card, Reito Tsutsumi takes on Raymundo Rojas, Sultan Al-Mohammad meets Erick Villegas, Bek Nurmaganbet collides with Marcos Vazquez, Carlos Emiliano goes up against Flavius ​​Biea and Bryan Leon faces Hector Aguirre.

Despite the promotion continuing, there have been concerns that the card is in jeopardy due to the escalating Houthi–Saudi conflict.

Deontay Wilder Set to Face Undefeated KO Artist on Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Undercard

"Deontay Wilder Set to Face Undefeated KO Artist on Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Undercard"

Deontay Wilder may return to the ring in 2026 according to a recent report.

The former WBC heavyweight world champion was last in action in April when he beat Derek Chisora by split decision – just the second points win of his career, the other 43 victories coming by way of knockout.

The performance allowed the hard-hitting American to show a grit and desire that perhaps hadn’t been witnessed since his trilogy with Tyson Fury, and was particularly absent in losses to Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker, in which he looked tentative and gun-shy.

Despite being strongly linked with former undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk as the Ukrainian’s final opponent before retirement, it appears that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ could now build on that Chisora win by facing Jai Opetaia on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua this December, as reported by Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger.

The Cardiff mega fight will be broadcast live on Netflix, and those behind the scenes are understood to be building a card that will attract a global audience. Manny Pacquiao, Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez and Keyshawn Davis have all been named as potential additions.

Like Wilder, Opetaia has recently been linked with a major fight of his own. The two-time cruiserweight champion has made no secret of his desire to fight David Benavidezwho may have three of the four major belts if he beats Mikael Cieslak in December.

This fight would see the Aussie move up to heavyweight for the first time in his career – a jump he has always said will happen, but only after his work is done at 200lbs. With Wilder being a relatively light heavyweight – weighing in as low as 212lbs for his first fight against Fury – it may be a perfect introduction to the division for Opetaia, though he will be aware that the American can hit harder than most of his contemporaries.

Jermall Charlo Withdraws from Fundora vs Hadribeaj Show Due to Injury

Jermall Charlo Withdraws from Fundora vs Hadribeaj Show Due to Injury

This marks the second time in three months that the matchup fell apart, as Charlo (34-0, 23 KO) failed to secure a visa for their planned clash in New South Wales this summer. Despite Mazoudier’s (16-4-1, 6 KO) local appeal being its sole selling point, PBC shunted it onto their Sebastian Fundora vs Ermal Hadribeaj show in Las Vegas, but it seems no amount of Charlo-proofing can get the big guy into the ring.

For those keeping score, he’s now had three fights in six years.

In steps former WBA titlist Jose Armando Resendiz (16-3, 11 KO), who upset Caleb Plant for the belt last year before losing it to Jaime Munguia in his inaugural defense. It’s still not a good matchup, as Mazoudier is a blown-up super welterweight, but Resendiz is usually a middleweight himself and is coming off a loss. I can live with that.

The evening’s other undercard bout, Brandon Figueroa’s featherweight title defense against Tomoki Kameda, remains intact.
