Light welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (32-0, 23 KOs) says he’s hungry for all the titles in the welterweight division. After unifying all 4 world titles at 140, Crawford, 29, announced last month that he’s going to be moving up to 147 to go after all the titles in that weight division.
Crawford said he was going to attend the Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn rematch that was previously scheduled to take place on November 12. But with that fight now off the table due to Pacquiao saying he won’t fight again until 2018, Crawford has been silent about when he plans on moving up to 147.
He vacated his IBF 140 lb. title last week after being ordered by the International Boxing Federation to defend it against mandatory Sergei Lipinetc
”I’m hungry and I need all. #147,” said Crawford on his Twitter. ”It’s the takeover! Team Crawford.”
Crawford wants to fight for the IBF, WBA and WBC titles against Thurman and Spence, he’s kind of in a bad position to get those fights. That’s not to say the fights can’t take place one of these days when Crawford becomes more popular and/or when Top Rank starts working with Haymon on a frequent basis, but right now it’s highly unlikely Crawford will be fighting either of those guys.
