Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KO) announced the end of his partnership with Top Rank, which promoted the reigning WBO world welterweight champion for nearly a decade. The American, now a free agent, announced his decision at a press conference after Saturday's fight with Sean Porter...
Crawford's contract with Bob Arum's stable has expired and the boxer may be looking for new promoters. The main motivation for such an act is an attempt to organize a unifying meeting with Errol Spence.
“Arum couldn’t give me a fight with Spence, so I made that decision. I'm moving on and wish you all the best, ”Crawford said at a press conference.
Even before the fight with Porter, Arum himself said that he was ready for such a turn of events, and since at the moment he is also the promoter of the undisputed super lightweight champion Josh Taylor, Crawford will have to cooperate with Top Rank, if he gives preference to this meeting, together fight with Spence. According to Arum, Taylor-Crawford will be a more grossing meeting in the UK than Crawford-Spence in the US.
