Unreaccided Title Terenka Crawford: Call for three fights before he faces Canelo

Terenka Crawford says that he is not trying to knock out Canelo Alvarez when he challenges him for his three or four titles of super medium weight in September. His goal is to simply “defeat him”. He says, however, that he parched with larger guys throughout his career and he feels that he has the power to potentially knocking Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) if he caught him with a quick shot that he can’t see.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) did not hurt his last opponent, former WBA Master Junior Middle weight Israil Madrimov, 3 August and was lucky to win the decision. Madrimov overtook the whole fight and made him look like his age, a 38-year-old who wants to put a bank account before retiring.

Defective vision

Terenca says that if I stop Canelo in September, it will make it #3 All -period for a pound. His statement indicates that he does not know much about the history of sport, because even if he defeated the disappearing, collecting Mexican star Alvarez, he would not put him in the first 20 pounds for the pound of all time.

Cvford’s CV is completely tender that he couldn’t even create a letters in the top twenty, because the only significant guy whose beaten so far is washed Errol Spence, who has been fighting in leisurely motion since his terrible car accident in 2019.

You will win this win at Crawford’s CV; You stayed with Madrimov and Over-the-Hill Kell Brook and Shawn Porter. They were both at the end of their career when Crawford fought them.

“I don’t have to stop him. I just have to defeat him. I’m not going there, trying to throw away Canelo. Can it happen? Yes, absolutely,” said Crawford to Manouk Akopyan’s YouTube Channel about his fight with the United Champion Super Middle Medium in Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

We already know how Crawford plans to fight Canelo, because his coach, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, has already distributed the game plan. He said that they would copy the plan of Floyd Mayweather Jr., stabbing, throwing individual arrows, moving and holding. It will be a very dull fight, and boxing fans who order it at PPV will be crazy for cheating. What do they expect?

If you watch Crawford’s last fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3, he shows exactly how I will try to beat Canelo. He will change the fight into a chess match because his power will not be there. He did not show any power, from 147 to 154 against Madrimov. He looked like your typical senior warrior, playing his string, then retired.

“I come from a smaller weight class, which is faster. So if he is caught with a blow that he does not see, he is definitely able to be hurt. I try to fight my fight. If the knockout is there, of course I will take it.

“I think Canelo has been refraining in the last few fights. I don’t think he was so excited,” said Crawford, asked if Canelo is still in the best condition at this stage of her career. I think that against me it will be the best Kanel we have seen. All my career parked up large guys.

“Many people are furious that I had such an opportunity. They don’t want to see how I have the opportunity for my own reasons,” said Crawford about the fight against Alvarez. “When I beat Canelo Alvarez, I will be in the top 3, a pound for pounds of fighters.

Ignoring the rank

Interestingly, Crawford is still unable to understand why fans and media are nervous that he gets the title shot with a unified Master of Super Medium weight Canelo. How can Crawford be so blunt? Is it intentional?

Boxing is to be a sport, and when you have a warrior moving around two weight classes to challenge the world champion, not fighting the competition, beating the best pretenders, they mock this sport.

Does he ask too much for Crawford to be forced to get his mega-featured day against Canelo Three or mini-turrees By going against these three killers?

  1. David Benavidez
  2. David Morrell
  3. Oslyys Iglesias

If Crawford defeated these three killers, fans would not have any scruples towards him, challenging Canelo for his three titles. But in the way it is set now, Terenka goes after two divisions after a year of the ring, without experience and a mature 38-year-old. In no way Crawford deserves to jump over the line before Benavidez, Morrell and Iglesias to the title.

I left pretenders to Supercek in the average weight of Diego Pachaco, Edgar Berlanga, Caleb Plant and Christian Mbilli, Jaime Munguia, because I do not judge them. Iglesias, Morrell and Benavidez are levels above this I’m sorry.

Image: Adam Smith reveals Ben Whittaker summer fight plan

Ben Whittaker’s next few months are already taking shape following his quick knockout victory in Liverpool, and Adam Smith outlines a busy summer schedule that should finally see the delicate heavyweight fighter face stronger tests

Smith said Whittaker is expected to return to the United States in overdue June on the Jaron “Boots” Ennis card, then return to the UK in the summer for a major date in his hometown of Birmingham.


Whittaker stopped Brian Suarez in two rounds last weekend and performed brilliantly throughout, adding another early finish to the stretch that helped rebuild attention around him after his first fight with Liam Cameron ended in a draw.

Smith said the June outing would support expose Whittaker to a wider audience ahead of a bigger national night later in the year.

“He will fight at the end of June in America at the Boots Ennis gala. That’s good. Show him to a global audience. Then he will come back here in overdue summer, maybe early September and fight in Birmingham in a huge fight,” Adam Smith said in an interview with Sport Boxing.

Smith also named British opponents who could be next, naming Lyndon Arthur, Brad Rea and Craig Richards as possible options once Whittaker returns home.

Smith believes that in the long term, bigger domestic fights with Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yard should come within the next year if Whittaker continues to win.

“Buatsis and Yards need to be delivered within the next 6-12 months.”

Whittaker has had a lot of notoriety since turning pro, but the activity and matchmaking are looking more grave now. The next two fights should tell more than the first ten.

Oscar De La Hoya admits he would consider comeback under one condition

Six-division world champion and Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya hasn’t fought since 2008, but revealed he would be willing to return for one fighter.

De La Hoya is a newfangled pound-for-pound legend, being one of only two six-division champions in the history of the sport – joined by Filipino fan favorite Manny Pacquiao, who has reached eighth in this ultra-elite club.

While De La Hoya has moved on to promote the sport, “Pac Man” recently returned to the pro ranks, challenging Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight world title last July in an attempt to break his own record as boxing’s oldest 147-pound ruler.

Pacquiao could only get a draw in that fight, but now he’s ready for an even bigger fight – at least financially – after signing a contract for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, who defeated him in 2015 in the “Fight of the Century.”

Time will tell whether this fight will have an impact on Mayweather’s renowned 50-0 record or not. “TBE” apparently wants to change his contract to an exhibition fight despite signing a contract for sanctioned competition.

If that fight takes place in September, Mayweather will come out on top again, De La Hoya said Fighting the noise that he would also be willing to have a rematch with Mayweather.

“I am a fighter. I will always be a fighter. If Mayweather beats Pacquiao, Floyd, you owe me a rematch! Let’s go!”

Mayweather defeated De La Hoya by split decision to win the WBC super lightweight title in 2007, and De La Hoya still maintains he deserved to win the fight.

The Day Wilder vs. Joshua fight died after eight years of failure

Wilder vs Joshua WBN

Today is April 24, 2026, and after eight arduous years of trying, the Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua fight is off the table for good, ending one of boxing’s longest-running failed negotiations.

The last window closes

Both sides had one good opportunity to get the job done and promoter Eddie Hearn now closed it down tough. The Matchroom boss has outlined the level of opponent Joshua’s next fight will be aimed at, and it won’t be thrilling for those still hoping for Wilder.

Hearn initially branded Wilder a ‘warm-up’ for Joshua after the ‘Bronze Bomber’ sent Derek Chisora ​​to the points. However, less than a few weeks later, that position appears to have evaporated.

Instead, Joshua will now likely face lower-level opponents outside the top 15 to shake off the ring rust. It is unclear whether these instructions are coming directly from Saudi Arabia or not, but the former two-time heavyweight champion is not expected to enter a potential fight with Tyson Fury this fall after beating the YouTuber over the course of five one-sided rounds.

The Path of Fury takes priority

Joshua, who recorded wins over the likes of Otto Wallin and Jermaine Franklin before suffering a devastating stoppage defeat to Daniel Dubois, is currently in advanced talks with Fury following his performance on Saturday after “The Gypsy King” defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Once negotiations are finalized and the fight is secured, British fans can look forward to the most crucial heavyweight battle in the British Isles since Frank Bruno vs. Lennox Lewis.

To achieve that, Joshua needs to fight a transition fight, and that means he won’t take any chances against Wilder, despite the American’s dwindling strength.

Wilder will now be forced to leave, and given his current form, he may struggle to maintain his current position until any Fury series ends.

Joshua vs. Fury could stretch into two or even three fights, while Wilder will turn 41 in October, which puts him firmly on the wrong side of the age divide.

Heavenly sports

How it all started

The attention for the former WBC ruler could instead turn to Andy Ruiz Jr., who – as WBN reported exclusively in 2020 – was once lined up for a massive pay-per-view clash with Wilder after the Fury trilogy.

It never materialized, but it remains one of the few remaining realistic options that still holds real intrigue.

The plan began with Shelly Finkel’s phone call to WBN in June 2018. It will end in a whimper as Joshua and Hearn choose their next move ahead of the Fury fight.

How it ended

Eight years later, it has only come close to reaching significance once, in 2023, and even then the Day of Reckoning plan fell through.
