Terence Crawford Forced Into Clash With the World’s Tallest Champion — Superfight Collapse in Shocking Twist!

Taking on all comers to his welterweight throne during his historic run, Terence Crawford did, however, fail to share the ring with a gigantic challenger.

Making more history just a month ago, Terence Crawford scooped the undisputed super middleweight crown with a decision win over Canelo Alvarez in another heralded performance.

And adding undisputed gold to his mantel, which also hosts undisputed welterweight spoils, Crawford styled on Errol Spence Jr. in a sensational in-ring display.

However, before his win over Canelo, Crawford faced being held up by a rather interesting spectacle against the tallest world champion in boxing today.

Following his successful move to light middleweight in a bid to prime himself for a showdown with Canelo, Terence Crawford was ordered to put championship gold on the line against the towering world champion Sebastian Fundora.

Standing just shy of 6ft 7in, Floridian star Fundora — at the time was recognized as the tallest world champion in boxing, following the defeat of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury by the undisputed titleholder Oleksandr Usyk  just three months prior.

Having just beaten Israil Madrimov in a less-than-memorable win, Crawford would be ordered by the WBO to fight Fundora, who then held the WBC and WBO championships.

Eventually ditching a pairing with Fundora, Crawford would move to super middleweight to face off with Mexican star Canelo.

“No Champion Is Safe: Crawford’s Gunpoint Traffic Stop Sparks Firestorm Against Police”

Terence “Bud” Crawford was celebrated during a victory parade in his hometown of Omaha, Neb. on Saturday but hours later he found himself being ordered out of his car at gunpoint during a traffic stop.

Video surfaced on social media that showed police speaking to Crawford with a gun drawn as the boxer, who is just days removed from his win over Canelo Alvarez, cooperates while stating “I ain’t reaching for no gun” while keeping his hands held high. The police officer is then seen patting Crawford down before the video comes to an end.

Police later issued a statement saying that just before 1:30 a.m. local time, officers stopped a vehicle that was “driving recklessly.” During the traffic stop, the police officer “observed a firearm on the driver’s side floorboard” and for safety, “all four occupants were ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint.”

The driver of the vehicle was identified as Crawford and issued a citation for reckless driving.

All four occupants in the car were legally permitted to carry firearms, including a member of Crawford’s security team who was carrying his own weapon at the time of the traffic stop.

A police supervisor and lieutenant also responded the scene at Crawford’s request.

As a result of the traffic stop, Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer ordered “an internal affairs investigation” over the incident.

In the aftermath of the video going viral, Omaha Mayor John Ewing also issued a statement of his own where he revealed that he actually spoke to Crawford about the incident, which followed the celebration in his honor on Saturday.

“I learned Omaha police pulled over Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford on a traffic stop downtown early this morning. After learning of this, I spoke personally to Bud Crawford,” Ewing wrote. “I acknowledge the seriousness of what occurred and how trust between law enforcement and our community is important and shows the need to be continuously vigilant about building relationships. Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer has pledged an internal investigation, which I support and want to be full and thorough. We will gather all the facts and be transparent with the public about our findings.

Anthony Joshua

“Understand that my heart dropped in learning of this end to an otherwise wonderful day and evening celebrating our city’s world boxing champion. We held a great parade and great event at Heartland of America park. The evening birthday party at Steelhouse, which I and members of my team attended, was a showing of joy and pride. Omaha needs to remember this important day as a good one while we seek answers to how it ended. Meanwhile, we must ensure that every resident, no matter who they are, feels safe and respected in Omaha.”

Gervonta Davis has a hard time going anywhere without screaming fans begging for his autograph.

That distinction, however, is a bit too much praise for his liking.
“I’m not the face of boxing,” Davis said during a recent press conference. “I’m just somebody that box[es].”
Ultimately, all of this “face of boxing” chatter isn’t on his radar. The 30-year-old WBA lightweight champ is training his tail off for his November 14 exhibition against fringe cruiserweight contender Jake Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami.

What Davis does following his exhibition is a question he won’t answer. He’s coming off a controversial draw against Lamont Roach on March 1 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
There was reason to believe there would be a rematch. But while Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) initially agreed, he backed out at the last minute and opted to face Paul (12-1, 7 KOs).

“Terence Crawford Eyes Fresh Title After Surprise Offer From Boxing’s ‘Most Avoided Champion’”

Terence Crawford has been called out by Janibek Alimkhanuly, who is willing to meet the undefeated star for his 160lbs title.

Crawford is arguably the hottest property in boxing right now, after completing an extraordinary feat by moving from 154lbs to 168lbs to dethrone undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez.

‘Bud’ has completed it all and made history by becoming undisputed champion in three weight classes, the first male boxer to do so in the four-belt era.

But now his future is up in the air, with potential retirement and a move to 160lbs to be discussed internally by Crawford and his camp.

Should he choose to move down 8lbs and enter a new division, current unified IBF and WBO champion Alimkhanuly believes a fight makes perfect sense.

He tweeted in a social media call-out: “If Crawford agreed to fight me, I would gladly face him.

“And our fight would be the kind of match every fan would watch with excitement, not wanting to miss a single second.”

Gervonta Davis

Alimkhanuly has failed to yet become a superstar in the sport, having accused several other champions of avoiding him during his undefeated rise.

As a result, he has been labelled by many in the boxing world, including his own team as the ‘most avoided’ champion, given he has yet to become undisputed in the division.

“Gervonta Davis Vows Ruthless Humiliation-‘This Leech Will Be Destroyed’: Target Is Jake Paul”

Gervonta davis : Jake Paul‘s fights have become synonymous with spectacle, always with controversy assured, and the clash against Gervonta Davisis no exception

Among the different voices that have given their prediction and opinion on the fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, former boxer Tim Bradley recently did not hesitate to say that it will be an uneven fight, where the undefeated champion will end up “erasing” the influencer turned boxer.

Tim Bradley predicts crushing victory for Gervonta Davis

Tim Bradley, former world champion and now analyst, made statements that quickly set social networks on fire, because, in his view, the difference in talent between Davis and Paul is abysmal:

“It’s like a bee and an elephant. Jake is big, but the bee is going to scare him and make him run,”Bradley commented on his channel, referring to the speed and accuracy of “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) against a much larger Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs), but with less technical resources and experience.

In addition, Bradley called Paul a “leech“, claiming that he has used his fame on social media to generate millions in boxing without the need to win titles.

Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis prediction

Although Bradley assures that the result is practically written, the background indicates that Jake Paul is not a simple opponent. In addition, Davis already suffered when he faced taller and stronger opponents, as happened against Mario Barrios in 2021. In that fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr. himself had to motivate his pupil, reminding him that he was at a disadvantage. Finally, Tank reacted and achieved a knockout in the 11th round, demonstrating his great resilience and technique to succeed in unfavorable moments.

On this occasion, Jake Paul not only has greater height and reach, but he will also be using 10-ounce gloves, which could increase the danger of his punching

When and where to watch the Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis fight?

The event will take place on November 14, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami. As for the broadcast, it will be exclusively through the streaming platform Netflix.

This is a fight that promises a great show, and everything points to it being another success for Jake Paul, even if he loses, as he has managed to turn his name into a profitable business.

Since 2023, the influencer has generated around $83.6 million in earnings. If he keeps up that pace, in less than a decade he could accumulate more than half a billion without the need to conquer world belts, which is why he generates so much discomfort among traditional boxing figures such as Bradley.

“No Respect Left: Canelo Alvarez Would Be Destroyed Again, Claims Terence Crawford’s Team”

Bernie Davis, the American’s trainer, does not see any sense in a rematch with the Mexican because of the great superiority of his pupil

Terence Crawford’s team has not forgotten the glory that the American boxer achieved by beating Canelo Alvarez for all his titles and continue to boast of that great difference, according to them, that the challenger had against the champion and visualize that a rematch would be superfluous because the Mexican would lose by KO

Despite the fact that the fight, which took place in front of 70,482 spectators at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, saw a Crawford less aggressive than expected and only showed his worth at the end, when he pulled away on the judges’ scorecards (115-113, 115-113 and 116-112), his trainer predicts that a possible rematch with Canelo would end with the Mexican losing again.

I think we could beat him a second time and it may be worse this time because I feel like ‘Bud’ Crawford is very fit, so I don’t think Canelo can get to hurt him,” said Bernie Davis in ‘MillCity Boxing’.

With great optimism for the future, Davis believes a Crawford KO of Canelo is possible. “Nothing that he [Canelo] proposed in the ring was working that night. I think Alvarez imagined that Crawford was going to run like William Scull and, I guess, he thought that Terence could not hurt him. I don’t see any reason for a rematch between the two,” said the Trainer

Jake Paul, 28, has a professional record of 12 wins and one loss, with seven wins by knockout since making his debut in 2020. His punching power has allowed him to establish himself as one of the most high-profile and profitable cruiserweight boxers, although not as one of the hardest punchers, so the public is skeptical about the likelihood of him defeating Gervonta Davis with a KO.

“This Can’t Be Real!” – After Gervonta Davis Reacts to Jake Paul’s Controversial Weight

The official rules for Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis’ exhibition bout have been announced, but one of them took the latter by surprise.

Davis and Paul are set to square off on November 14 at Miami’s Kaseya Center in a 195lbs catchweight exhibition bout.

There had been considerable speculation about the weight Paul and Davis would compete at, given the size difference between the pair.

Paul, a natural cruiserweight (200lbs), has competed as high as 227lbs for a heavyweight bout with Mike Tyson last November.

Meanwhile, Davis, the reigning WBA lightweight champion (135lbs), has never boxed above super lightweight (140lbs).

The official rules for the bout were announced at their launch press conference on Monday by Paul’s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, and Davis looked stunned when the weight was announced.

“Y’all said it was 190[lbs],” said Davis.

Bidarian replied: “The fight is 195lbs as you know.”

The Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) chief then went on to confirm that the bout will take place over 10, 3-minute rounds and that they will duke it out in 12oz gloves rather than the usual 10oz ones donned by pros.

Anthony Joshua

While Paul vs Davis is officially an exhibition bout and therefore the result won’t show up on either of their professional records, a decision will be reached by three judges selected by the Florida Athletic Commission if the crossover clash goes the distance.

Why did Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis change location?

Paul’s promotional outfit, MVP, had initially planned to hold the event in Atlanta, Georgia.

Silent but Deadly, Joshua’s Warning to Tyson Fury Ignites Tension Ahead of Return

Anthony Joshua: With the epic Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight in the rearview mirror, the attention is now turning to other divisions in the boxing world to see what will come next for high-profile stars. A lot of eyes will be on the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis event, but in terms of real boxing fights with high stakes, the heavyweight division may be next up

On October 25, two of the top contenders in the division will go toe-to-toe. Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley will square off for the WBO heavyweight interim title. This comes after Oleksandr Usyk passed on facing Parker, who was the WBO mandatory challenger. Usyk, meanwhile, has been waiting for the right opportunity to materialize. A trilogy fight against Tyson Fury seems possible, but not set in stone. Usyk also has competition to fight The Gypsy King, as it seems that Anthony Joshua wants a piece of him.

Anthony Joshua is looking in prime shape as 2026 nears

Fury is technically in “retirement“, but everyone knows he’s just waiting for the right financial opportunity to jump back into the ring. That could very well be Joshua, who has a lot to prove after a brutal stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois in 2024. The question is whether Joshua wants to keep waiting for Fury, or if he decides to take a tune-up fight.

Anthony Joshua

While he waits, Joshua is certainly keeping in shape. Fitness has never been a question for Joshua, but he made sure to send a warning shot with a recent video where he showed off his physique and quick hands.

The odds right now are that Joshua will face a middling to average opponent in early 2026 before fighting Fury later in the year. But if Usyk and Fury agree to a bout before then, the plan could be thrown out the window.
