Terence Crawford Admits He Can’t Compete At Canelo Alvarez’s Weight In Resurfaced Clip

Terence Crawford Canelo Alvarez

September 13 will be the biggest night of Terence Crawford’s professional boxing career as he fights Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title.

‘Bud’ Crawford is looking to make history as he aims to become a three-division undisputed champion. Crawford has previously held the undisputed title at junior welterweight and welterweight.

Canelo, right now, is the biggest name in boxing and Crawford’s most high-profile opponent. ‘Bud’ is moving up two weight divisions to fight Canelo, which is a major narrative of the fight, with fans and experts doubting Crawford can handle Canelo’s power at 168 lbs.

The Nebraska native looks confidence in his ability and is looking to shock the Mexican with a signature performance. Crawford is yet to be bettered inside the ring and boasts a perfect 41-0-0 record with 31 knockouts.

While there’s no denying Crawford’s brilliance, a resurfaced clip from 2023 shows ‘Bud’ himself doubted his chances against someone like Canelo at super middleweight. He echoed the sentiment that boxing has weight classes for a reason, proving that his doubters are not completely wrong in their stance.

Back in 2023, speaking to the EBRO in the Morning podcast, he said:

Canelo fights at 168 lbs+. I don’t see us fighting. 154 lbs realistically (is the highest I can fight at). Those boys get big up there. I’m not a person to toot my own horn too loud to be able to say I can beat the world. I understand there’s weight classes for a reason, and I respect the weight classes. I think 154 lbs is my max.

– Terence Crawford

The comments came shortly after Terence Crawford’s sensational win against Errol Spence Jr. However, ‘Bud’ has clearly changed his mind. He is taking a risk to further solidify his greatness and by beating Canelo Alvarez, he can become of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

It’s a high risk, high reward game for Crawford. Crawford himself stated that he’ll only make $10 million from the fight in an appearance on Ring Champs with Ak & Barak, but there’s no official purse released. All in all, it looks like a calculated career decision from ‘Bud’ to cement his legacy rather than earn a payday.

Crawford said as much when explaining his decision to Ak & Barak, saying “I’m doing it for the opportunity, baby, the legacy. The legacy outweighs the money.”

Canelo and Crawford have already done two press conferences, in Riyadh and New York. Their third presser is set for June 27 in Las Vegas.

(VIDEO) Deontay Wilder Shakes Off Ring Rust But His Future Is Still Unclear

By
Deontay Wilder

Despite looking a bit rusty, the Bronze Bomber got the win he needed.

Deontay Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) returned to winning form on Friday in Witchita, Kansas, when he stopped Tyrrell Herndon (24-6, 15 KOs) via TKO in the 7th round.

Herndon, wearing red gloves, shorts, and boots, had all the fashion choices of a tomato can. However, Herndon showed surprising head movement and defensive skills.

In his prime, Wilder had a snapping power and a long frame, which allowed him to load up his punches. He rarely did that on Friday in Wichita, though. At 39, he showed a level of patience that he will need to show if he plans to fight for a few more years. The composure he showed at times will serve him well.

Deontay Wilder now seeks a fight with Anthony Joshua. Ironically, Wilder turned down the Anthony Joshua fight in March 2019 even though streaming platform DAZN offered him $100 million for a three-fight package that year. The package was to include two fights against Anthony Joshua.

That fight might not be there this time, with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury reportedly set to fight in September, possibly on Netflix.

Given this reality, Francis Ngannou remains the most realistic opponent for Wilder. Ngannou is expected to return to the boxing ring soon, and a decisive win over the former UFC champion would reignite Wilder’s standing in the eyes of casual fans.

An equally compelling scenario could emerge if Anthony Joshua defeats Tyson Fury. In that case, a fourth fight between Wilder and Fury—Wilder vs. Fury IV—would be an exciting and marketable option for both fighters, especially if Wilder continues to show the patience and power that defined his comeback in Wichita.

Rory McIlroy’s wife gets her wish as PGA Tour star passes up chance at $1.7 million

By
Rory McIlroy Erica

McIlroy has had an impressive season, breaking his 11-year dry spell for a major victory by clinching the Masters in April.

His triumph in Augusta made him just the sixth golfer in history to complete the Grand Slam, but subsequent events like the PGA Championship and the US Open revealed signs of frustration.

The Northern Irish golf star has largely steered clear of media interviews since his Masters win and has acknowledged the need for a ‘mental break’. McIlroy’s wife has expressed her desire to spend more time in the UK and less time in Florida, a wish that has been granted as he passed up the opportunity to compete for a top prize of $1.7 million in Detroit.

Since his Masters victory, McIlroy’s performance has been somewhat erratic, despite earlier wins at Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass. He tied for seventh place at the Truist Championship, struggled at the PGA Championship, and didn’t make the cut at the RBC Canadian Open.

A challenging week at Oakmont resulted in McIlroy tying for 19th place at the US Open after barely making the cut, and he tied for sixth at the recent Travelers Championship. After his final round on Sunday, McIlroy confirmed that he would be temporarily leaving the United States with his family.

“I think more so than anything else it’ll just be good for me mentally to take a little bit of a break and get back to my neck of the woods, get back to the UK for a little bit,” McIlroy remarked.

“So I’m excited to do a little bit of that over these next two weeks.”

McIlroy hails from Northern Ireland, while his wife Erica is an upstate New York native. Despite this, Erica has voiced her discomfort with Florida’s heat and is keen on spending more time in the UK.

The couple is in the process of setting up a new home in Surrey, England, making them soon-to-be UK residents. Erica’s preference for cooler climates came to light during the Netflix docuseries Full Swing, where German golfer Martin Kaymer shared details of a conversation he had with her.

“I saw her [Erica] at a Starbucks once, and she said, ‘I really don’t like the sun.’ I said, ‘Your state’s called the Sunshine State [Florida], right?'”Kaymer said.

McIlroy responded: “If it was up to her, she wouldn’t move to England straightaway. But she definitely wants to spend more time there.”

With plans to split their time between Surrey and Florida, McIlroy is eager for a respite in the UK. The golfer has also been open about his recent media frustrations and appeared visibly discontent on the golf course.

“I feel like I live two different lives,” McIlroy expressed. ‘I’m a dad and a husband when I’m away from here, and then I’m who I am when I’m here.

It’s always nice to get away and feel a bit of normality. “.

McIlroy’s upcoming schedule includes two UK tournaments, kicking off with the Genesis Scottish Open on July 10. Following that, he’ll compete in The Open Championship, this year’s last major, starting on July 17.

As Per Report, Tiger Woods Planning Marriage to Vanessa Trump

By
Tiger Woods Vanessa Trump

Tiger Woods has been in the news as of late, following one of his first public appearances since undergoing surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon earlier in the year.

While Woods’ future in golf is certainly in question, it appears that things in his personal life are going well alongside his girlfriend Vanessa Trump, President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law.

According to a report from Reality Tea, there is an expectation that Woods and Trump could be tying the knot in the near future, and that they are head-over-heels in love with each other. Reality Tea also reports that Woods has been calling this “the best relationship he’s ever had.”

Woods and Trump made their relationship public back in March and have been going strong since.

“The source revealed that the PGA Tour champion’s friends strongly believe that an engagement is imminent,” Reality Tea’s Varsha Narayanan wrote. “The insider further said, “He’s over the moon about her and saying he plans to marry her so people in his world are expecting it to happen fairly soon.”

Reports of Woods being happy in his personal life are certainly good to hear, seeing as his golf future has taken a turn as of late. While ramping up physically for the major championship season this year, Woods announced that he ruptured his Achilles, and would require surgery to repair it, likely sidelining him until 2026.

This past week, we saw Woods out and about as he walked a course alongside his son, Charlie, for an amateur tournament. While the focus was supposed to be on Charlie, it was hard to ignore Tiger’s physical appearance.

The 49-year-old looks like a shell of his former self. While he still has some muscle mass in his upper-body, his legs look lean and lacking of bulk.

Of course, this is understandable considering what he has gone through as far as leg injuries over the past several years. In 2021, Woods suffered fractures to his right tibia and fibula, plus significant ankle trauma after a serious auto accident. He has also ruptured his ACL, had stress fractures in his knee, torn his Achilles and had MCL sprains.

But if he is happy off the course and in his personal life, all of that other stuff comes secondary. Here’s to hoping this happiness alongside Vanessa can continue.
