Boxing Champion Expresses Desire for Crawford to Retire from Competition: No More Bouts Desired
In the world of boxing, a potential fight between Terence Crawford and Ilia Topuria is generating significant buzz. This potential matchup could be a historic event, with the possibility of selling out a soccer stadium in Spain.
Terence Crawford, a six-weight world champion, is looking to join the ranks of boxing greats Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao by winning the middleweight title. A victory in this fight would solidify his status as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Meanwhile, Ilia Topuria, the UFC lightweight champion, has expressed interest in challenging Crawford. He sees this as an opportunity to prove that he has what it takes to knock off an all-time great like Crawford and make a name for himself in the boxing world.
The potential financial rewards for Topuria could be significant. A win against Crawford could skyrocket his popularity and solidify his place as a major player in the boxing world.
However, Crawford is known for being careful in picking fights against opponents who have something on the line and stand to lose just as much as he does. He is motivated by legacy and is a fan-friendly performer, always aiming to put on a show for the fans.
Shakur Stevenson, the WBC lightweight champion, recently made waves by stating that he wants Crawford to retire following his historic victory over Canelo Alvarez on September 13 in Las Vegas. Stevenson believes that Crawford looked stellar and made one of the best fighters of our generation look average.
Despite the calls for retirement, Crawford has expressed interest in fighting Topuria. At 38 years old, he has the pick of challenges to accept or pursue at this point in his career.
The haters want to see Crawford stick around until someone finally beats him, but Crawford seems motivated by doubters and will never fully silence them or stamp out all haters.
If Topuria has any level of success against Crawford, he would become the only all-time great to show cracks against a mixed martial artist in his own sport. This would be a significant moment in the history of combat sports and would undoubtedly cement Topuria's place in the annals of combat sports history.
It's great to see a fighter like Crawford dominate and leave the sport on his own terms, similar to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Andre Ward. Only time will tell if Topuria will be the one to dethrone Crawford and make history in the world of boxing.
