Saul Alvarez next?
As soon as the fight was over for the multi-champion, he was questioned about the possible fight against Saul Alvarez and, just like the Mexican, he appealed to money.
"If the money is right, we got a fight, but at the same time he's got a fight that he's focused on. I'll go back to my family relax enjoy this win and enjoy all the accomplishments that I made in the sport of boxing," Crawford expounded.
Canelo Alvarez has his next fight against Edgar Berlanga on September 14 in Las Vegas and, if he defeats him, he may open the door to face Terence Crawford.
