Terence Crawford Next Four Options
Terence Crawford, the undisputed welterweight champion, is at a pivotal point in his career following his dominant victory over Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023. After that win, Crawford solidified his place as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, and many are speculating about what’s next for him. Here are some possibilities:
- Rematch with Errol Spence Jr.: Spence has activated the rematch clause, so a second fight between the two is likely. The rematch could take place at a different weight class, possibly at 154 pounds, which might benefit Spence, who struggled to make the 147-pound limit for the first fight.
- Fight with Jermell Charlo: Crawford has expressed interest in moving up to the 154-pound division, where Jermell Charlo currently reigns as the undisputed champion. This would be a highly anticipated fight, especially if Charlo successfully defends his titles against Canelo Álvarez.
- Canelo Álvarez: While this would be a massive jump in weight class for Crawford, a fight against Canelo Álvarez is one of the most lucrative and high-profile matchups in boxing. If both fighters are willing, this could be a blockbuster event.
- Retirement: At 36 years old, Crawford has accomplished nearly everything in the sport. While less likely given his current momentum, retirement could be an option if he feels there’s nothing left to prove.
Crawford’s next move will depend on negotiations, weight class considerations, and what he sees as the most compelling challenge for his legacy.
