Terence Crawford Slams Canelo Alvarez Over ‘Arrogant, Disrespectful’ Remark That Left Him Absolutely Fuming

September 13 will mark the biggest moment of Terence Crawford’s glorious career as he challenges Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title.

It’s a fight between two extremely accomplished superstars, four weight world champions and multiple time undisputed title holders.

If Crawford beats Canelo he can become the first fighter in history to become undisputed in three weight classes. Historically, a great fighter moving up has rarely beaten an equally great opponent. And to make matters worse, Crawford is coming up not one, but two weight classes to take Canelo’s throne.

The build-up has been full of hype. While there’s mutual respect between the pair, there has been some heated moments as well. ‘Bud’ Crawford has now revealed a moment where Canelo irritated him.

Despite Crawford’s long list of accomplishments, Canelo questioned the quality of his past opponents. ‘Bud’ told Dan Rafael that it irritated him.

“It definitely irritated me, because, I can say so much about his resume and the guys he has fought, at the time he fought, and so forth. But. I am not gonna do that. I’d rather talk about him as a fighter and forget all the other people he fought before me.”

Gervonta davis

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Me and him gotta fight. I am not fighting his resume, I am not fighting the guys that he fought. I would rather keep it straight for Canelo.

Crawford has beaten fighters like Errol Spence Jr, Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Kell Brook, and more in his career. However, one might argue that he never had a generation defining fight except for the Spence clash, who ‘Bud’ dominated bell-to-bell.

Crawford pointed out that fans don’t need to pay a PPV price to watch the NBA or the NFL. “We can get back to that, I think boxing will be back where it used to be back in the day.”

Turki Alalshikh and Dana White (TKO Group / Zuffa Boxing) are co-promoting the fight. The build-up has been full of hype and Crawford sounds determined to deliver on the biggest night of his professional career.

Joshua Could Be on the Verge of a Monumental 2026 With a Thrilling Jake Paul and Tyson Fury Double-Header in the Works.

AJ has been out of the ring since last September when he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois at Wembley.

Elbow surgery in May has delayed his return – allowing for shock talks with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Fury retired in January but announced in July that he will come back to fight next year – with the hopes of a fight with Joshua.

Frank Smith, CEO of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, talked up a mega 2026 for AJ with bouts against Paul AND Fury possible.

Smith said on talkSPORT: “2026 is going to be a huge year for Anthony Joshua.

“It is a random fight with Jake Paul, but it is the biggest fight out there at the moment.

“Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul on the global scale is bigger than Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. That is the world we live in right now.

“The Tyson Fury fight is still a huge fight, and if he decides to come back from retirement, I’m sure that can also get made in 2026.

Anthony Joshua

“AJ has done everything in the sport, he still has a lot more to offer but in this business people get written off.

“I think you will see him in a great year next year in the biggest events possible.

“From a commercial perspective he’s in the driving seat, AJ delivers the biggest numbers.”

Fury, 36, retired after consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, last year but told fans at a BoxPark event in July that he will return in 2026.

Paul is 12-1 in his career with his lone loss coming against Fury’s brother Tommy in 2023.

Paul won on points over eight shorter two-minute rounds and returned to cruiserweight in June to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

And he beat the former middleweight world champion over ten rounds – placing him 14th in the WBA’s rankings.

Paul, 28, first called out Joshua, 35, on his podcast earlier in the year sparking a behind-the-scenes back and forth between the two.

And Smith added:  “I think you have to respect what Jake Paul has done.

“He’s not at the level of Anthony Joshua, and he keeps calling people and one day these fights will happen.

“This is the reality, and I think this could be the end of Jake Paul’s influencer dreams of becoming a boxer.

PGA Tour Golfer Set to Shatter Woods’ Earnings Record Despite

PGA Tour Golfer Set to Shatter Woods’ Earnings Record Despite Making Just £1.2m Last Year

JJ Spaun is expected to break Tiger Woods’ record prize money haul for a single year despite winning just one tournament this season. Scottie Scheffler (£14.15million) and Rory McIlroy (£11.92m) have unsurprisingly come in at first and second place respectively on the newly-released PGA Tour regular season prize money charts.

But in third place is a name no-one could have predicted when the season began in January. By the end of the Wyndham Championship last week, Spaun had raked in £7.56m ($10.14m)

That’s despite the 34-year-old American only claiming one victory across 20 events. However, that triumph just happened to be at the US Open at Oakmont Country Club back in June.

Spaun came out on top at a course which caused even the biggest names a headache all week, claiming the second-biggest winning cheque of the season in the process. It earned him a mammoth £3.2m ($4.3m) in prize money alone.

Among Spaun’s five top-10s were also two runner-up finishes – the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and The Players Championship – which also happen to be two of the most lucrative events on the PGA Tour calendar.

His surprise form this season can best be shown by the fact he only claimed £1.2m ($1.65m) in prize money last year, while boasting a career season-best of £2.23m ($3m).

That means Spaun is very likely to earn the £521,720 ($700,000) he needs to top the legendary Woods’ most successful financial year in terms of prize money.

The 15-time major winner is widely regarded as the greatest to ever swing a golf club. But he only earned over the $10m mark in 2005, 2007 and 2009, with 2007 being his most lucrative year in the sport. He raked in £8.1m ($10.87m) that year despite a whopping seven PGA Tour victories, including the PGA Championship.

That only goes to show how drastically the prize money has increased in recent years, with the sums PGA Tour stars earn now on a Sunday dwarfing what Woods and his peers won.

Raducanu’s New Coach Reveals Crucial Improvements Needed

Raducanu’s New Coach Reveals Crucial Improvements Needed Before US Open

Emma Raducanu has already revealed what she’s working on with her new coach, Francisco Roig.

Raducanu announced Roig ahead of the Cincinnati Open as she continued her quest to gain seeded entry into the US Open.

The British No. 1 has improved dramatically over the summer, with Raducanu reaching the semi-finals of the Washington Open.

Adding Rafael Nadal’s coach, Roig, has created excitement for Raducanu’s fans, and the Brit has revealed the key thing she’s been working on since his induction.

Emma Raducanu is working on her ‘quality of shots’ with Francisco Roig

Raducanu and Roig have started working together ahead of the Cincinnati Open, although the Brit also revealed they worked together in London ahead of the tournament.

In a new interview, the British No. 1 let slip the main thing she had been working on with Roig in their first days together.

“I’m working on the quality of my shots to be better,” Raducanu told Sky Sports about working with Francisco Roig. “I think against the very top, that’s what it needs, it needs to improve.

“So I’m hoping with time, I’m pretty patient, I’m going to try and be pretty patient, that it will improve,” she added.

Roger Federer

Raducanu has a bye in the first round of the Cincinnati Open, and she’ll play either Katie Boulter or Olga Danilović in the second round.

Emma Raducanu’s projected route at the Cincinnati Open

Raducanu’s partnership with Roig could not begin in a trickier way, as the British star has been handed an incredibly tough side of the draw at the Cincinnati Open.

Should Raducanu navigate past her fellow Brit Boulter, she’ll be rewarded with a match against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.

Sabalenka defeated Raducanu at Wimbledon this year, so the British star will be looking for revenge if she makes it to the third round.

The British star is also in the same section as Washington Open champion Leylah Fernandez and Venus Williams.

Undefeated Boxing Star Gervonta Davis Opens Up on Bold Jump to Higher Weight Class

With less than two weeks before his showdown against undefeated WBA super lightweight champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, Gervonta Davis has approached what’s being promoted as a career-defining challenge for him the same way as he did in any of his previous fights.

Davis (24-0, 23 KO) is jumping up two weight classes to take on Barrios (26-0, 17 KOs) on June 26 in a Showtime pay-per-view bout. Barrios, who has a 5½-inch advantage in height, is also 9-0 since moving to 140 pounds, with eight of those finishing by way of knockout. It will be the first time Davis has faced a challenger with the speed and power who could possibly take him the distance or place him in unfamiliar territory on fight night.

Even with those factors, Davis has sounded more curious than concerned when he’s addressed the challenges that Barrios presents him.

“I want to test his power and see how strong he is,” Davis says.

Even given this newest challenge and a chance to be a three-division world champ, Davis says there wasn’t any overhaul from a strength and conditioning standpoint or with his training camp due to fighting in a heavier weight class.

Anthony Joshua

“Everything is going smooth,” Davis says. “Camp has gone very well. I’m not sore, not hurt and it’s been going great. Even with moving up in weight, I didn’t have to lose that much weight, probably only a few pounds.”

He adds: “I don’t think this camp is any different. I’m just continuing to train hard. I always train hard, so this isn’t any different. It’s just a different opponent.”

Of the noticeable changes is an increase in his water intake and not as many Skittles as he’s used to. Davis still employs the same chef and nutritionist, and his diet remains similar to the spartan diet, which includes lean proteins, vegetables and healthy fats eaten every four hours. He didn’t want to focus on bulking up because he doesn’t want to be stuck in a weight class.

His meal plan included turkey bacon with eggs and mixed peppers for breakfast. For lunch, Davis would opt for tuna, spinach along with a light snack which would vary. Salmon would be the main dish come dinner time, along with smothered potatoes and either broccoli and asparagus.

Anthony joshua

While the two-weight-class jump has been newsworthy, Davis has enjoyed the consistency of his usual preparation. From his workouts, sparring and pad sessions, as with the bouts before he faces Barrios, the focus is all about performing his best and putting on a good show.

With consistency being the key, Gervonta Davis says you can also expect what boxing fans have become accustomed to from his performances on June 26 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

“Fireworks, Fourth of July,” Davis says. “You know how the fourth of July looks, right? That’s exactly how the fight is going to be.”

Hints: This Could Be the Ultimate Heavyweight Battle Anthony Joshua Hints at Explosive 2025 Showdown with Tyson Fury 

ANTHONY Joshua insists that Tyson Fury remains at the top of his hit list, targeting an all-British showdown with the former heavyweight king this year.

The 35-year-old comes off a devastating fifth-round knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois, hitting the canvas four times during their enthralling heavyweight spectacle back in September.

Soon after, Joshua was seemingly in talks to enter an immediate rematch with the formidable puncher, before making the decision to extend his period of recuperation.

Instead, Dubois is now gearing up to defend his IBF world heavyweight title against Joseph Parker on February 22, while the future of Joshua’s career remains uncertain.

But regardless of who he faces next, ‘AJ’ has confirmed his desire to lock horns with domestic rival Fury at some point in 2025.

“My life is up and down, so I’ve got to get used to the turbulent times and keep riding the wave,” Joshua told NTA news. “I can’t stop now; I’ve got to keep going until I reach my destination.

Gervonta davis

‘The Gypsy King’ comes off his second defeat to bona fide heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk, losing by a margin of 116-112 on all three judges’ scorecards.

Yet still, the 36-year-old maintains his belief that, in both of their compelling encounters last year, he had done more than enough to emerge victorious.

In any case, with both Joshua and Fury evading the win column towards the end of 2024, it would appear that the pair are, once again, firmly on a collision course.

But despite the intrigue that still surrounds their potential clash, it must be said that, while not yet past its sell-by date, the matchup has certainly lost a degree of pizazz.

Eddie Hearn Issues Stark Warning to Jake Paul, “I Hope Joshua Destroys Him With a Vicious Beating”

The British promoter warns of possible “brutal punishment” if the fight between the influencer and the former world heavyweight champion goes ahead

Rumors of a possible showdown between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua have begun to gain momentum in recent days, as the idea of seeing the influencer-turned-boxer take on the former unified heavyweight champion has generated mixed opinions in the boxing world. One of the most critical voices has been that of Eddie Hearn, who is Joshua’s promoter.

Hearn not only questioned the viability of the fight, but was clear in his statements about what he believes would happen if Jake Paul dares to step into the ring with Joshua:

I hope AJ goes in there and destroys him. This would be a brutal beatdown, an easy night at the office

This fight seemed unlikely until a few years ago, however, rumors of a possible clash between the two have increased, to the point that today it seems imminent.

Tyson fury

Although the difference in experience and class between the two boxers is noticeable, representatives from both sides have admitted that talks are underway

In fact, Eddie Hearn revealed that he had a recent conversation with Nakisa Bidarian, a close associate of Jake Paul and co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, assuring that “this is very real” and that the chances of the fight happening are “50/50”.

Bidarian not only confirmed the interest, but also described the possible fight as an event of “biblical” proportions, even pointing to a possible date in 2026.

Criticism of Jake Paul continues

However, not everyone is convinced that this clash should take place, as journalist Gareth A. Davies described Jake Paul as “a regional level boxer” and was concerned about the physical risk of facing a heavyweight like Joshua:

It doesn’t seem safe. I don’t think it should be sanctioned by any commission

However, the chairman of Riyadh Season, Turki Alalshikh, also spoke about the possible fight, and although initially sceptical, Alalshikh now sees the duel as a possible solution to the “Jake Paul problem”

If Joshua destroys him, the headache is over. If Jake Paul wins, we will know that he deserves to be in boxing

There are still many things up in the air about this hypothetical fight, but what is a fact is that, if it materializes, it would be a fight with a large audience.

Tyson Fury Shuts Down Critics: “My Physique Doesn’t Define Me as a Fighter”

Fight night is right around the corner for the ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 21 KOs) as he prepares to lock horns with his longtime foe, Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs). Boxing aficionados have their senses piqued for this highly anticipated showdown, and Fury’s sleek physique has unsurprisingly caught their eye. While they rave about the transformation, the ‘Gypsy King’ believes his physique is not what matters on fight night.

Tyson Fury recently sat down for an exclusive interview with DAZN’s Off the Cuff. In conversation, he opened up about looking noticeably fitter ahead of the fight.“If I’m not ready now, I’m never going to be ready, am I? Been in camp forever. I never stop training, anyway. Whether I’m fat, thin, or whatever, I’m always training. I’m always in the gym, at least once a day, mostly twice a day,” he said.

Fury further mentioned that the major contributor to his updated physique was a change in his diet. However, he added that this neither adds nor takes away from his performance inside the ring. “It makes no difference. You can be skinny or fat, it’s all about how you perform on the night. Having a six-pack don’t mean you can fight,” Fury said. “As long as you’re fit enough to do the rounds, which I always am, then it’s never been a problem.”

“Win No Matter What”

There is no denying that this May 18 showdown will be a treat for fans. As one of the most awaited fights in the heavyweight division, there is certainly a divided room picking its favorite side. This, however, does not bother Fury in any way. He even expressed confidence in his victory in the upcoming showdown.

“Why will I win? Because it’s what I do. I win, win, win no matter what. I’ve always won,” he said in an interview. “What I deliver is victories. Whether it’s by an inch or a mile, I deliver every time. Sixteen years as a pro, I’ve been delivering my whole life. They should call me the midwife because I always deliver.”

Terence Crawford Declares Bold Ambition, “I’m Ready to Become Boxing’s Next Global Superstar”

Undefeated WBO jr welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (28-0, 20 KOs), of Omaha, Nebraska, will have his toughest test when he takes on undefeated WBC champion “The Ice Man” Viktor Postol (28-0, 12 KOs) of Kiev, Ukraine, in a unification bout on July 23 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on HBO Pay-Per-View.

“It’s going to be big. I’m going in there and putting on a spectacular show and showing everybody that I belong here,” Crawford told Fightnews.com®. “I have to make a statement on July 23rd.”

Crawford will be training for the fight in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska under the watchful eye of his longtime trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre.

Coming off a devastating knockout over Hank Lundy this past February in New York City, Crawford was impressive in defending his WBO title for the second time. Last year saw Crawford score knockouts against Thomas Dulorme in April, as he won the vacant WBO super lightweight title. and in October when he stopped Dierry Jean in his first title defense.

Since coming to the United States Postol has been 4-0 with 3 KOs. He won the WBC world title with an impressive tenth round knockout over the tough Lucas Matthysse last October. “I feel Matthysse gave up because he was frustrated. It wasn’t because he hurt him with a punch, it was because Matthysse was tired. Postol was holding, elbowing, his jab was irritating him every time Matthysse would get in. There was more frustration than hurt,” Crawford said.Anthony joshua

“Postol’s style is more European,” he continued. “Straight right, jab, clinch, hold, elbows here and there, but there is nothing he’ll be able to do come fight night to keep me from taking that belt. I’ve seen a lot in my time of boxing on this level. I feel I will do real well!”

A win over Postol would open a new chapter in Terance Crawford’s career. “This is just the beginning. It’s my first pay-per-view and I want to put on a great performance. I want to be the next superstar,” Crawford said.

Since his 2014 homecoming knockout win over previously undefeated Yuriorkis Gamboa, Crawford has become the pride of Omaha, Nebraska.

“When you talk Omaha, you talk Terence Crawford if you aren’t talking Warren Buffet,” Crawford said. “When I fought in Omaha against Gamboa everyone was like, WOW! This is what we have been waiting on!”

Terence Crawford

Crawford expects a large number of his hometown fans to make the trek to Vegas for the Postol fight. “They will show up and chill out. A lot of people are coming to show their support,” Crawford said.

On July 23 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, it will be champion vs. champion.

“When I look at this fight, I look at it as #1 vs. #2, the best in the division, two undefeated fighters,” Crawford said. “I’m not thinking of who I want to fight next. Who I got in front of me now is Viktor Postol. Come fight night, we’re waiting for the victory!”

Anthony Joshua Finally Breaks Silence, Delivers Explosive Announcement on His Epic Boxing Comeback Date

Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he will return to action at the end of 2025 ending speculation on when his ring comeback may take place.

Last September, Joshua tried to become world champion for a third tome when he collided with Daniel Dubois at a sold-out Wembley Stadium .

Joshua entered the contest a huge favourite, but his dreams were ultimately shattered as he was dropped four times before being counted out in the fifth session.

Despite the loss, Joshua soon turned his attention to the undisputed heavyweight title rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk last December as a showdown between him and Fury appeared to be a real possibility.

This has left Joshua to explore other option with Deontay Wilder and a rematch with Dubois both mentioned for the former champion.

Despite no opponent being announced, Joshua has now confirmed that he will fght before 2025 is over.

“December I will fight again,” said Joshua when speaking to  ESPN Mexico .

“That’s when I want to fight again, I’ll take some time, and I will go in December. I just want to get my body feeling good and then I’ll fight. It’s a simple job.”
