Terence Crawford has sent a scathing message to a potential future rival.
The 37-year-old switch-hitter from Omaha, Nebraska is just shy of 40-fights into his exceptional professional career, which began way back in 2008.
Crawford has already won world titles across four weight divisions, as well as capturing the undisputed championship at super-lightweight and welterweight, becoming the first male fighter of all time to achieve this feat within the ‘four belt era’.

He is just two months away from arguably the toughest test of his career as he prepares to challenge Mexican great Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super-middleweight championship. Their highly anticipated ‘mega-fight’ takes place on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Speaking on the Cigar Talk Podcast, Crawford discussed the possibility of a future showdown with lightweight star Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, as he claims the 30-year-old world champion ‘would never’ make the move up in weight to face him.
“Tank would never. He would never even think about to come up to 154.”
‘Bud’ was then asked if he believes Davis would move up to welterweight, should the opportunity present itself.
“Yes, if he gets to pick his opponent, but Tank would never go from 35 to 54.”
Davis currently reigns as the WBA world lightweight champion, with the next defence of his crown set to come against Lamont Roach Jr in their highly anticipated rematch.
The pair locked horns for the first time back in March as they fought to a close split decision draw at the Barclays Center in New York City. It is being speculated that the rematch will take place in Las Vegas on August 16.
