Amazing! Crawford stunned by insane BKFC offer to throw down with the promotion’s biggest star — fans erupt: “He’d be crazy to accept this!”
Boxing megastar Terence Crawford has now been offered the chance to fight sans gloves in what would come as a surprise move to the BKFC.
Expected to make his return to the ring next year, Terence Crawford is on cloud nine since winning the undisputed super middleweight title against Canelo Alvarez earlier this year.
And linked with a massive chance to make boxing history in a pursuit of the undisputed middleweight title, Crawford has welcomed a clash with an unbeaten European puncher.
However, with his boxing future somewhat up in the air still, the Omaha native has been named on a hit list of stars by bare knuckle fighting’s biggest name.
Mike Perry reveals pursuit of Terence Crawford fight
Fighting exclusively in the ring during his illustrious combat sports career, Crawford has now been offered the chance to duke it out without gloves against former UFC welterweight star Mike Perry.
Taking the David Feldman and Conor McGregor-led promotion by storm ever since his debut three years ago.
And improving to 6-0 in the ring last month, Perry has been linked with massive fights in the time since.
However, according to the Flint puncher, a pairing with stars including boxing’s pound-for-pound king Crawford hugely interests him.
“I think of names when you ask me. Nate Diaz, (Jorge), Masvidal, there’s Darren Till,” Perry told MMA Fighting. “Darren Till don’t have experience in bare knuckle that we haven’t seen at the club, and no kicking. … (Terence) ‘Bud’ Crawford, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua — he’s a little big.
“…Darren Till’s a big fight,” Perry explained. “He’s doing well in boxing. To have a boxer and MMA fighter, and he finally comes over and does the bare knuckle.”
Terence Crawford receives new offer from boxing star
Eyeing a history-making return to the ring next year, Crawford has also been linked heavily with a pairing against Jaron Ennis — with the super welterweight champion training with Canelo for their September clash.
However, over the weekend, another boxing star emerged in the hotly contested race to fight Crawford, with a WBC interim super welterweight champion staking his claim for a bout with the Nebraska favorite.
