Josh Evanoff - August 8, 2024

Four-division boxing champion Terence Crawford believes Canelo Alvarez is avoiding him. ‘Bud’ is fresh off his return to the boxing ring over the weekend in California. Back for the first time since a destructive knockout of Errol Spence Jr. last summer, Terence Crawford faced Israil Madrimov. The bout was the former undisputed welterweight champion’s first up at 154 pounds. Crawford wanted the fight partially, to set the stage for a bout with Canelo Alvarez.
