Terence Crawford appears to be approaching the end of what has been an outstanding professional career.
The 38-year-old Omaha-native wrote his name into the boxing history books once again earlier this month when he defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision to capture the undisputed super-middleweight championship at a sold-out Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
‘Bud’ put on arguably the best performance of his 42-fight professional career to date against the Mexican icon, becoming the first male fighter ever to win an undisputed championship in three weight classes in the process.
Much of Crawford’s success has been down to his long-term partnership with trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, who has been by the pound-for-pound greats side since he made his professional debut way back in 2008.
Speaking to Fight Hub TV, ‘BoMac’ revealed that Crawford could have at least ‘two or three’ more fights before he eventually draws the curtain on his accomplished career.
“Well you know what? He made it look so easy. Got two or three more in him. Training camp we’ll try harder, you know what I’m saying?”
Reports are even suggesting that Crawford could actually make the move down to middleweight when he makes his return to the ring next year which could set up a potential showdown with unified WBO and IBF middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Hard-hitting Kazakh star Alimkhanuly has already revealed that he would be interested in sharing the ring with ‘Bud’ in the future and giving the 38-year-old the opportunity to become a six-weight world champion.
