Terence Crawford insists a rematch with Errol Spence is still on the table.

‘Bud’ finally did battle with Spence in his previous outing last year, dropping and dominating his rival to secure the undisputed titles at 147lbs.

A rematch was contracted between the pair prior to the first fight, though in the end talks failed to materialise with both electing to move up to 154lbs.

Now, Crawford has insisted it could still be a possibility in a unification clash at their new weight.

The possibility is there,” Crawford told Forbes. “He’s [Spence] fighting [Sebastian] Fundora for his titles [WBO and WBC].

“I’m fighting for a title [Israil Madrimov’s WBA 154lbs title], and there is the possibility.

“He wins his fight, God willing, and I win my fight, God willing, and there’s the possibility.”

Neither fighter has fought since that famous night in Las Vegas, with the event attracting huge interest both commercially and with fans.

The pair had built up a sporting rivalry for several years, but it unfolded in extremely one-sided fashion when they finally graced the squared circle.

Crawford will first fight Madrimov in his first tough challenge at 154lbs on August 3, but is expected he could move up in weight again if he becomes a four-weight world champion.

Terence Crawford was not impressed with Errol Spence’s attempts to muscle in on his potential fight with Sebastian Fundora.

Both men are actively pursuing a contest against the new WBC and WBO super-welterweight champion after the ‘Towering Inferno’ beat Tim Tszyu on Saturday night to claim the belts.

Fundora’s win was a bloodbath with Tszyu sustaining a horror cut in the second round after being caught with an accidental elbow.

Tszyu valiantly fought on but was unable to do enough to get his hand raised as he fell to the first defeat of his professional career via split decision.

In the immediate aftermath, Spence entered the ring to call out Fundora and drum up interest in their potential fight.

“It’s time to get it on, he’s got the big dog now,” said Spence.

“This is my first time seeing him in person and he’s got pretty good height but we will break him down, we always do.”]

The imposing 6ft 6ins champion then replied: “I think it will be great [fighting him].

“He’s one of the greats right now, he’s one of the pound-for-pounds, so if I can fight him and get a win off of him it will be good history for me again.”

However Crawford, who is the WBO mandatory challenger for Fundora, had a thing or two to say about his former foe’s attempts to jump the queue.

“@ErrolSpenceJr sorry buddy you gotta wait in line sir,” he tweeted.

“You lost sir gotta work yo way back up,” he added in reference to his stoppage victory over Spence last July.

Crawford has activated his status as the WBO’s ‘super champion’ at welterweight to become Fundora’s mandatory challenger at super-welterweight.

The preeminent designation is reserved for fighters who are champions of ‘high recognition’.

Oleksandr Usyk previously used his WBO ‘super champion’ status to become Anthony Joshua’s mandatory in 2021.

Terence Crawford is stuck in a holding pattern trying to determine the next steps of his Hall of Fame-bound career.

The Nebraska native Crawford is coming off a crushing KO victory against Errol Spence Jr. in July that made him the undisputed welterweight champion.

The bout had a rematch clause that has since been activated, but it remains to be seen when the event will be staged. With Showtime Sports leaving boxing at the end of the year, Premier Boxing Champions will have to find a new broadcast or streaming partner to stage the fight.

In the midst of a sequel being coordinated, the IBF stripped Crawford of his title earlier this month and elevated undefeated upstart Jaron Ennis as its champion.

The 36-year-old Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) wants to maximize his earning power and potential, and he doesn’t see a future pitting with Ennis properly padding his purse.

“Listen, like I said. Jaron is in one place, and I’m in another. I’m looking for mega fights right now, and right now, that’s not a mega fight,” Crawford told a group of reporters Friday. “That’s my standpoint on it. I’m looking to fight guys like Canelo Alvarez. That’s pretty much it, man, and a rematch with Spence, and that’s it. That’s over with for me.”

Crawford has remained adamant that he would climb up to 168 pounds for the chance to clash with Alvarez.

“Man, that would be lovely. That would definitely be lovely,” said Crawford.

Crawford also commented on perhaps facing unified 154-pound Jermall Charlo, the former undisputed champion who no longer has two of the four titles he once owned due to sanctioning body semantics.

Crawford was originally enticed to face Charlo for the opportunity to become a three-division undisputed champion.

“Charlo isn’t a mega-fight. His last performance [against Alvarez] wasn’t a great performance,” said Crawford.

Terence Crawford can be ferocious both in and out of the ring.

The undisputed welterweight world champion dominated and stopped Errol Spence to unify all four belts in July and crowned himself as boxing’s pound-for-pound king in the process.

The result was tough to take for Spence, but perhaps even tougher for some of his fans on social media.

Five years of build-up came to a head on July 29, when Crawford silenced all of his critics.

Among these doubters was loyal Spence fan Ray Jackson, who to this day still continues to post jokey tweets about how he refuses to give the victor any credit.

On Friday, Jackson began by quote-tweeting a video suggesting Crawford used illicit hand wraps in the Spence fight

He said: “This is why I don’t give Crawford credit for the Spence win. Tim Bradley even called this BS out.”

Crawford ruthlessly replied: “Yo momma give me all the credit for you coming outta my nutsack though.

“She just mad at me because I told her you wasn’t mines because she was out there heavy in the streets I found out. So she kept you away from me son I’m sorry it wasn’t my fault she did it, ask her.”

The thread then exploded with numerous replies from other boxing fans.

Jackson responded to one of them: “Chill dawg.”

But Crawford misinterpreted this message and thought it was meant for him.

He therefore hit back: “Or what?”

Jackson answered: “Since you mad n***a, help your fellow black man get a new forklift. It’s times like this we gotta stick together.”

Crawford replied: “Come on son, get the money from yo mom.

“All that child support money I had to pay her all them years. I know she got you.”

Jackson then posted a screenshot of Google Maps directions heading to Crawford’s hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.

He captioned this: “Alright n***a, you say one more thing about my mama I’m hitting this damn highway.”

Crawford remained ruthless and said: “Yo momma would advise you not to play with your father like that. But pull up son, it’s been a long time since I seen you.”

Jackson gave up at this point and posted a picture of his face photoshopped onto a knocked out fighter’s body.
