Terence Crawford is over 40 fights into an exceptional professional career.
Since making his debut back in 2008, the 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska has won world titles in four weight classes, as well as capturing the undisputed championship at super-lightweight and welterweight.
‘Bud’ is now gearing up for what could be the toughest test of his career, as he prepares to challenge Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super-middleweight championship in September.
Aside from his upcoming showdown with Canelo, the 37-year-old has also been linked with a bout against Youtube star turned professional fighter Jake Paul, who has won all but one of his professional fights since making his debut five years ago.
Speaking to Club Shay Shay, Crawford was asked if he would actually consider facing Paul, whose most recent victory came against heavyweight icon Mike Tyson.
“No, Jake’s doing his thing, Jake’s big but he’s doing his thing, I’m gonna let Jake do what Jake do.”
Crawford changed his mind promptly when the scenario has a $200 million purse attached…
“I’m fighting Jake Paul.”
‘The Problem Child’ makes his return to the ring on Saturday June 28 when he faces former WBC world middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
Paul has expressed his intentions to fight for a legitimate world title in the near future, but must defeat Chavez in impressive fashion if he is to push towards achieving his career long dream of capturing world honours.
