Earlier this month, Crawford moved up two weight classes to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF super middleweight titles in a 12-round contest at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Omaha, Nebraska native displayed control throughout the fight and won via unanimous decision to become the new undisputed 168-pound champion. He improved his undefeated record to 42 fights, dethroning Alvarez in front of 70,482 fans.

Meanwhile, Alvarez (63-3-2) is rumored to make his boxing return against Chris Eubank Jr. at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London.


Terence Crawford's trainer praises Canelo Alvarez

Canelo Alvarez suffered his first defeat in the super middleweight weight class last Saturday when he lost his undisputed throne to Terence Crawford.

Marca recently reported Crawford's trainer Brian "BoMac" McIntyre's positive remarks about Alvarez, which stated that the Mexican superstar has nothing left to prove. He also offered his advice:

''Rest up, back in the gym, assess where you're at. But look, the man has nothing to prove. Just get what you can out of the sport. Your legacy is already cemented... I'd love to see him fight again if he has a little more left in the tank, but I don't care, because he doesn't need to fight.''

Notably, Crawford gave Alvarez his belts back at the post-fight press conference as a sign of respect.
