Terence Crawford remains open to a potential mega-fight with fellow boxing star Canelo Alvarez, following his recent win over Israil Madrimov. Crawford made his 154-pound debut against the WBA champion, with the pair going toe-to-toe for all 12 rounds.

‘Bud’ became a four-division world champion after securing a unanimous decision victory, with Madrimov giving the Nebraska native his toughest fight in years.
Whilst the new WBA super welterweight champion may be eager to schedule a clash with Alvarez, the undisputed 168-pound champion, Eddie Hearn has dismissed the fight as anything meaningful.
Hearn instead believes that Crawford should focus on fighting at his newfound home, 154 pounds. The Matchroom Boxing chairman was interviewed by The Stomping Ground after his client, Madrimov, suffered the first loss of his career.
