While the world awaits Terence Crawford’s return to the ring, the Omaha resident has caught the aftermath of an accident on his way to Eppley Airfield, Omaha. The former two-division champion is in talks to fight Chris Eubank Jr. sometime in the summer. While there hasn’t been an official confirmation, the potential fight has signs of life.
Previously, Eubank Jr. seemingly confirmed rumors about their fight by sharing a makeshift flyer on social media. It puts Ring Magazine’s Trainer of the Year, Brian ‘Bomac’ Mcintyre, in a peculiar spot. Bomac had just started training Eubank Jr. and had been training Crawford since 17. Meanwhile, Crawford has put on a reporter’s hat as he filmed the crash on North 75 highway today and shared it on social media.
Terence Crawford isn’t expecting a ticket from the cops!
Turning to Instagram, the undefeated boxer shared two clips from the sight of the crash. From the snippets, viewers could see that emergency services arrived at the location and were trying to de-escalate the situation. Meanwhile, thick plumes of smoke billowed into the air from the fiery crash, creating a visible and ominous presence.
Crawford captioned the first clip with, “Damn hope they coo,” while he captioned the other, “You not giving nobody no tickets shut up!!!” It’s unclear whether the driver of the crashed vehicle survived or not, but in the first clip, people were seen carrying presumably a person to safety. While Crawford shared the shocking incident on social media, Floyd Mayweather seems to have found a solution for Crawford’s Canelo Alvarez situation.
Floyd Mayweather suggests a blockbuster showdown
For the longest time, since Crawford defeated Errol Spence Jr. ‘Bud’ has wanted a clash with the Mexican superstar. However, Canelo has scoffed at the idea, claiming he has nothing to gain from that matchup. Meanwhile, David Benavidez is in a similar conundrum, having chased a Canelo fight for months.
So, Floyd Mayweather has suggested Crawford and Benavidez should fight each other. “If they can’t get Canelo, then they can fight each other. Benavidez and Crawford,” Floyd told Fight Hype. He continued, “If both of you guys are chasing one fighter. If you feel like you’re chasing him and you can’t get that fighter, then you should say, ‘F**k it. We’ll fight each other.’”
With that said, there’s no official word on who Terence Crawford may fight next, but it seems more and more like Eubank Jr. will be his next opponent. Who do you think Crawford will fight next? Let us know in the comments below.
