Undefeated UFC prospect Bo Nickal recently praised Terence Crawford for his wrestling abilities. A video emerged showing Crawford being playfully taken down by Shakur Stevenson and an unidentified individual inside a gym. The lighthearted clip also captured Stevenson lightly kicking Terence Crawford.

This video added to the aura of Terence Crawford’s legendary wrestling prowess, as it took two individuals to bring him down successfully. The playful exchange, shared on social media, has ignited a wave of excitement in the combat sports world. Crawford’s wrestling skills were also discussed when he appeared on the JRE podcast. During the podcast, Crawford dismissed the idea of transitioning to MMA, expressing apprehension about the potential for kicks in that sport. Currently, Terence Crawford holds the distinction of being the premier boxer with notable wrestling abilities.

Terence Crawford emerged victorious over Errol Spence Jr. in a greatly anticipated bout. He delivered a rather convincing performance to become the undisputed welterweight title winner. Shakur Stevenson engaged in a match against Shuichiro Yoshiro in April 2023. Recently, Stevenson publicly challenged Gervonta “Tank” Davis. The prospect of a showdown between these undefeated boxers remains undeniably tantalizing. However, the likelihood of it materializing in the immediate future appears slim.

Gervonta Davis is currently riding the momentum of a knockout triumph over Ryan Garcia, further elevating his profile. Terence Crawford, on the other hand, finds himself with various opportunities across both the welterweight division and higher-weight classes. As exciting as the potential matchup between Stevenson and Davis might be, multiple factors contribute to the uncertain timing of such an event.

Terence Crawford is ready to face Keith Thurman if the Errol Spence Jr. rematch is not happening

Coach Bernie Davis believed that Keith “One Time” Thurman could be an excellent choice for Terence Crawford’s next opponent. He stated that in case the immediate rematch with Errol Spence Jr. does not materialize. Thurman’s activity decreased significantly after he secured a substantial payday from his 2017 match against Danny Garcia.

The boxing world is eager to witness Crawford take on the rising star Jaron “Boots” Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs). Ennis is the next big sensation in the welterweight division. He needs Crawford’s scalp, given Crawford’s status as a veteran at 36 years old, to further elevate his career. Such a move on Crawford’s part would mirror the selflessness of Oscar De La Hoya when he faced Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Crawford might consider a match against the inactive and past-his-prime Thurman if the Spence rematch fails to materialize. Nevertheless, Crawford could potentially pass the torch to Boots, a young phenom. This shift could solidify Boots as an instant PPV draw, contributing to the division’s prominence for the next decade. While this scenario appears beneficial, Bud and his coach Davis seem to resist this proposition.
