'I'm Hunting Everything That He's Got,' Declares Crawford Ahead Of His Fight Against Canelo

This Las Vegas clash isn't just another belt showdown. It signifies the first key test of UFC's evolution into top-tier boxing under the current TKO model.

The American - Crawford had resumed a more aggressive tactic in the last press conference, maintaining that he is 'hunting' Canelo in their undisputed super-middleweight world belt bout on September 13.

"I'm just going to keep it real," said Crawford during the press conference. "I'm hunting him, that's it. I'm hunting everything that he's got and I'm going to take it come September 13," he said.

The pugilist is a four-weight world titlist. He has further vowed to inflict a crushing defeat on his immensely popular rival.

"I want all the people in the stands that boo me, they are going to cry when they go home,” he said.

Elsewhere, Canelo, who has further dominated four weight categories, was compelled to go the distance in his last match, a monotonous points victory over the subtle William Scull in May, and has wished for a smaller ring for the Crawford showdown.

Meanwhile, the stakes are high for the contest. H. E. Turki Alalshikh has now aggravated it further. He declared that there would be a knockout bonus on the line. However, he didn't reveal the amount.

“For a mega fight of this magnitude, we wanted to create an exclusive mega belt. So we spoke to numerous companies all over the world and eventually settled on a top-tier company from the UK. This company often gets commissioned to create items for kings, for queens, jewelry, high-end medals for the British army,” said Turki in a press conference.

“This is by far the most expensive ring magazine belt ever created. The finest gold, the finest craftsmanship. Canelo Alvarez and Terence 'Bud' Crawford are the two very best fighters of this era, but there can only be one. And only one of them is going home with this belt Saturday night, September 13th, in Las Vegas,” he said.
