Terence Crawford addresses calls for return from retirement
Undefeated five-division world champion Terence Crawford has addressed the increasing number of fighters calling for his return following his retirement. Crawford suggested that the sudden surge in interest from opponents is motivated by large paydays and the perception that his age may have made him more vulnerable.
UFC boss Dana White expressed confidence that he could lure Crawford out of retirement if presented with the “right fight,” though he did not specify a potential opponent. Meanwhile, fighters such as Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Ryan Garcia have been linked to potential matchups.
Crawford, who recently achieved undisputed status in three weight classes including a victory over Canelo Alvarez, stated that he is currently enjoying his retirement and does not miss competing in the ring.
