Terence Crawford reveals possible history-making next fight after Canelo Alvarez clash

Terence Crawford could move back down to super welterweight after his clash with Canelo Alvarez.

'Bud' is set to move up two weight classes to face Canelo at his natural home of super middleweight in September, provided the Mexican superstar overcomes William Scull on May 3 for the undisputed crown.

On Friday, WBO president Gustavo Oliveri confirmed that Crawford won't return to 154lbs and will relinquish his WBO 'interim' super welterweight title upon the official announcement of his fight with Canelo.

Crawford is still the reigning WBA super welterweight champion.

And while he admits he is unlikely to take on fellow champions Sebastian Fundora (WBO and WBC) and Bakhran Murtazaliev (IBF) as it stands, he is .

“It's a lot of great fighters out there [at 154 pounds],” Crawford told Ring Magazine.

“I don't want to disrespect any of the fighters just by saying one or the other is the best in the division.

"If they ever fought, the winner would be the best because styles make fights.

"Who knows? Maybe it will be a possible showdown for Terence Crawford and the winner."

Crawford is one of only three male two-weight undisputed champions in the four-belt era, alongside Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue.

If he manages to dethrone Canelo and beat the last man standing at super welterweight, then he would double his tally and make history as the first four-weight undisputed champion.

“If the opportunity presents itself, and it's a great opportunity for me and my career, then we will do what we have to do to make that fight with the winner,” Crawford added.
