Canelo Alvarez has shared his reaction to a rumor that Terence Crawford has injured his shoulder ahead of their upcoming super fight.
This coming Saturday, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are set to clash in one of the biggest boxing fights in recent years, when they fight for the undisputed super middleweight title.
Not only will the victor walk away as the undisputed super middleweight champion, but they are also fighting for a one-of-a-kind belt worth nearly $200,000, created just for this fight.
Ahead of their historic clash, Canelo has been told by a former opponent of Crawford, that he has ‘overstayed his welcome’ at the top of the sport.
With this fight set to be one of the biggest in recent years, the Mexican champion is set to make another huge payday and the main promoter for the event, Dana White has reacted to rumors that he will make over $100 million.
However, there are more pressing concerns heading into the event as rumors have surfaced online that ‘Bud’ Crawford has suffered a shoulder injury.
Crawford underwent surgery on his shoulder some time ago and according to Pound4Pound, the shoulder has been flaring up during his training camp.
