Terence Crawford

Eddie Hearn updated everyone on plans for Canelo, the Terence Crawford/Golden Boy situation, and much more.

You have a lot of fights out there that aren’t world level but are entertaining, so I think that’s a good fight that’s going to get a lot of attention, I think it’s good for boxing.” I mean it’s not, obviously, Bivol against Beterbiev and fights like that, but it’s a 50/50 fight and a lot of fun. “I think it’s different to the ‘YouTube boxing,’ it is a professional boxer against a YouTube boxer. And that’s one of the reasons we’ve seen the growth and rise in women’s boxing.” We’ve got a lot of irons in the fire here, where we’ve got to do what’s best for a number of fighters.” “But if Edgar Berlanga can headline a couple of shows against high-level, world-ranked opposition and prove that he is a contender for Canelo Alvarez, you have a fantastic Mexico vs Puerto Rico fight there. We’re going to speak to Top Rank, we’re gonna speak to Callum Smith, we’re gonna speak to Dmitry Bivol, but it’s really exciting times for the sport and the division at 175.” In boxing, people are very quick — he had (16 first round knockouts), and then went the distance a couple of times, and then apparently he’s ‘overrated.’ That’s what happens in boxing. It’s a great card Saturday and it’s going to be a full-up (Hulu) Theater at the Garden.” “Boxing has to fight back against the ‘YouTube world,’ which I don’t have a problem with. The phone is ringing a lot more with me lately, with certain fighters that are looking to make moves, looking to jump sides of the street and all that. We’ve got Callum Smith, we’ve got Bivol, we’ve got Canelo Alvarez — this is where it gets really exciting, because we’ve got some massive fights to be made at 175.”
