In a recent development that has left many boxing fans and insiders buzzing, Terence Crawford has expressed his frustration and disappointment after losing the chance to fight Canelo Álvarez. The highly anticipated bout between the two champions was initially set to be a marquee event, but it fell through, leaving Crawford feeling bitter.
Crawford, known for his sharp skills and fierce competitiveness, voiced his displeasure during a candid interview. “It’s frustrating, to say the least,” Crawford said. “I trained hard, I was ready for the fight, and I was looking forward to the challenge. Losing out on a chance to fight someone like Canelo is a tough pill to swallow.”
The opportunity was reportedly derailed due to a series of logistical and contractual issues, according to sources close to the negotiations. Crawford’s promoter, Bob Arum, shared his perspective on the situation. “We were all set for the fight. It’s disappointing that things didn’t come together. Terence was incredibly motivated and ready to show what he’s made of against Canelo.”
Crawford’s frustration is palpable, especially given his recent performances and the high expectations surrounding the fight. “Canelo is a fantastic fighter, and I’ve always wanted to test myself against the best,” Crawford added. “It’s a setback, but I’ll keep pushing forward. I know opportunities like this don’t come often, and it’s disheartening to miss out.”
Despite the setback, Crawford remains focused on his career and continues to train with the same intensity. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly waiting to see what’s next for the former undisputed champion and whether another opportunity to fight Canelo might arise in the future.
