Terence Crawford was involved in the biggest fight of 2025. Now retired, he’ll be watching from ringside when 2026’s standout bout takes place.
Crawford got the better of Canelo Alvarez in a legendary win last September, jumping up two weight divisions for the opportunity to dethrone the super-middleweight poster boy and capture the undisputed 168lb title.
That triumph saw ‘Bud’ receive recognition not only for the 2025 Fight of the Year by both the BWAA and The Ring Magazine, but also as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in modern boxing history.
Off the back of that iconic victory, Crawford made the decision to hang up the gloves and he has since denied the opportunity to rematch Canelo, despite having a lucrative offer on the table for a second encounter with the Mexican superstar.
Instead, Crawford is now enjoying the sport as a fan, and on ‘The Real Report’ podcast with Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, the Omaha switch-hitter admitted that there is no fight he would love to see more than his good friend, Shakur Stevenson, getting the opportunity to hand Gervonta Davis a first defeat.
“That [Stevenson vs. Davis] is definitely number one.”
Stevenson has recently signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing and is now looking for a first opponent since the promotional move. White recently revealed that he has spoken to ‘Tank’ Davis’ team, though he does not believe the fight will happen immediately.
