Terence Crawford has already conquered three-weight classes and has his sights set on more before he hangs up the gloves.
The 36-year-old won titles at lightweight before becoming undisputed at super-lightweight and, just last year, achieved the same feat at welterweight with a dominant victory over Errol Spence Jr.
Seemingly uninterested in top 147 contenders like Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, the Omaha fighter is now ready to move up once more – but that’s not to say there aren’t tempting match-ups that could see him return.
In an interview with The Breakfast Club following the Spence victory, Crawford reacted to Gervonta Davis saying he could knock him out.
‘Tank’ Davis has fought as high as the super-lightweight limit of 140 – a win over Mario Barrios for the WBA Regular belt – although looks much more suited to 135 where he is currently full WBA Champion.
Asked if he would stick around to make 147 for the fight, ‘Bud’ said yes for the money rather than the credit, but warned Davis against that scale of weight-jump.
As ‘Tank’ now pushes to become undisputed at lightweight, the gulf deepens as Crawford moves to 154 on August 3 to challenge for a world title in a fourth division, this time against Israil Madrimov.
He has an ambitious weight jump of his own in his sights thereafter, adamant that he wants a shot at undisputed 168 champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
