Terence Crawford says Canelo ‘needs’ to face one man if he wins world title back

Crawford Urges Canelo to Face Martinez

American boxing star Terence Crawford has urged Canelo Alvarez to face a specific opponent if he returns to reclaim world titles. Crawford believes Lester Martinez deserves a shot at the top.

Crawford Retires After Historic Win

Crawford and Canelo last fought in September, when “Bud” dominated the bout and secured a unanimous decision victory. That win crowned him the undisputed super-middleweight world champion.

Soon after, Crawford announced his retirement from boxing, ending a remarkable career at the top level.

Canelo Targets Return After Surgery

Canelo Alvarez has focused on recovery after undergoing elbow surgery. He now plans a return to the ring later this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Reports suggest that Christian Mbilli has emerged as the leading candidate for Canelo’s next fight. Mbilli currently holds the WBC super-middleweight title after officials elevated him from interim champion following Crawford’s retirement.

Mbilli Camp Awaits WBC Decision

Mbilli’s trainer, Marc Ramsay, recently revealed that his team expects clarity from the WBC regarding the next step. The organization could order Mbilli to face interim champion Lester Martinez.

However, recent WBC updates have increased the chances of a direct showdown between Mbilli and Canelo.

Crawford Backs Martinez for Title Opportunity

Despite the speculation, Crawford has thrown his support behind Martinez. He took to social media and made his stance clear, insisting that Canelo should fight the Guatemalan contender if he beats Mbilli.

“Yes, that needs to be next,” Crawford stated.

Crawford has long backed Martinez, who previously trained alongside him. Over the years, he has predicted that Martinez will achieve major success in boxing.

Martinez Builds Momentum in the Division

Martinez fought Mbilli to a draw on the Crawford vs Canelo card, proving he can compete at the highest level. He returned in March and defeated Immanuwel Aleem by unanimous decision to claim the WBC interim title.

He now faces a demanding path. Officials have ordered him to defend his title against Luka Plantic and then against the winner of the bout between Jacob Bank and Paulinus Ndjolomino. If he wins those fights, Martinez could secure a high-profile clash with Canelo Alvarez.

Deontay Wilder calls out Anthony Joshua for a boxing match

Wilder Calls Out Joshua After Chisora Victory

American boxer Deontay Wilder has intensified talks of a blockbuster clash with British heavyweight Anthony Joshua. Moments after defeating Derek Chisora, Wilder boldly called out Joshua and pushed for a long-awaited showdown.

Joshua Supports Chisora at O2 Arena

Two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua attended the fight at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday, April 4, 2026, to support his longtime friend Derek Chisora. Many fans believe Chisora may have fought his final bout that night.

Joshua Returns to Training After Difficult Period

After dominating Jake Paul in Florida in 2025, Joshua stepped away from the spotlight. A tragic accident in Nigeria claimed the lives of two of his close friends and deeply affected him. Recently, he resumed training and worked in Ukraine with Oleksandr Usyk. This move has fueled speculation about a potential fight with Tyson Fury.

Tense Ringside Exchange Sparks Excitement

At the O2 Arena, Wilder approached Joshua, exchanged a fist bump, and issued a direct challenge. “Let’s do it,” he said, before later adding, “He’s scared.”

Wilder later confirmed the exchange and made his intentions clear.
“It wasn’t just a few words—I dapped him up and said, ‘Now let’s get it on,’” he said.

“I’m ready for anyone in the heavyweight division. Call me Mr. Clean because I want to clean up the whole division. The division is nothing without me.”

Wilder Secures 45th Career Victory

Wilder earned a split-decision win over Chisora. Two judges scored the fight 115–111 and 115–113 in his favor, while one judge gave Chisora a 115–112 edge. The victory marked Wilder’s 45th win in 50 fights.

Joshua’s Last Fight and Personal Loss

Joshua last fought on December 19, 2025, when he stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round. Shortly after, he traveled to Nigeria, where a tragic accident claimed the lives of Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele. Joshua survived the incident with minor injuries.

Why Terence Crawford asked if Canelo will beat Mbilli to win back world title

By
Terence Crawford

Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez looks set to get an immediate opportunity to win back one of the world titles he lost to Terence Crawford in September last year.

Canelo, who held the undisputed super-middleweight title on two occasions, had not been beaten in the division until Crawford pulled it off. The American, who became a five-weight champion that night, retired shortly after, scattering the four belts.

While the WBO and IBF still remain vacant, Jose Armando Resendiz now holds the WBA, and the WBC – who actually stripped Crawford days before his retirement – has upgraded Christian Mbilli to full champion.

Mbilli is the man expected to face Canelo in his September comeback fight, currently booked for Saudi Arabia, though the location may change due to the war in the Middle East.

Responding to a fan on X, Crawford backed Alvarez to become champion once more if things play out that way.                                          “We gone see. I got Canelo though.”

Mbilli has said he wants the fight to happen. His trainer, Marc Ramsay, recently told Boxing News that they were awaiting instruction from the WBC on whether they could face Canelo – currently ranked number one – or would be ordered to face new interim champion Lester Martinez, a rematch following their draw on the Canelo-Crawford undercard last year.

With the WBC seemingly now ordering Guatemala’s Martinez to defend his interim belt, it appears Mbilli is free to push ahead and make the biggest fight available to him. Alvarez, at 35, could be back at the top of the division in no time at all.

By
Claressa Shieds

Claressa Shields is willing to entertain the idea of a bout with Lauren Price, but insists any clash must be on her terms.

‘The GWOAT’ swung by Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on Saturday night to watch the star defend her unified welterweight title.

Price, like Shields, is a former Olympic gold medalist, having sealed middleweight success five years ago at Tokyo 2020.

The pair spoke after the Welsh star outpointed Stephanie Pineiro Aquino and verbally agreed to meet before 2026 is out.

But while Shields is open to a bout however, she will only take a clash on home soil or for travel overseas for a hefty fee.

“She’s hungry, and she feels she’s the next best and skilled enough that she can beat me in a fight,” she told The Ring.

“She’s Olympic champion, and she’s undefeated. I would try and eat a few less burgers to get down to 160 pounds.

“You want me to come, you pay me that money. I’ve had sold-out events in my last three fights. We know I’m a big draw.

“I don’t think Lauren is big enough for me to come over here in the UK. She has to come to America if she wants the smoke.

“I’m very hard to beat, you can be stronger, faster, you can have more fights, you can be bigger, smaller, and I still dominate.”

By
Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods, once hailed as America’s golden child in golf, is back in the spotlight following his fourth major car accident in Jupiter, Florida. This mishap occurred just before the Masters, where Woods is slated to play, despite being 50 years old and battling multiple injuries.

Key Takeaways:

This accident marks his second involving charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The incident raises doubts about Woods’ readiness for the upcoming Masters.

Tiger Woods

 

Although this is not Woods’ first accident, its timing is critical as it comes shortly before a major tournament he was eyeing. With advancing age and a history of numerous injuries, the crash serves as a reminder of the risks he faces.

The event occurred mere weeks before Woods was expected to compete at the Masters, heightening concerns about his physical condition. Fans speculate whether he can return to peak performance after this incident.

Woods’ involvement in a crash related to driving under the influence adds to his mixed public reputation. Nevertheless, his status as a golf icon remains strong despite facing various hurdles throughout his career.

Since winning the Masters at age 21, Woods has navigated a dramatic career filled with ups and downs. This accident adds another chapter to his complex life, which continues to captivate the golf world.

Why Manny Pacquiao hits out as Floyd Mayweather ‘makes excuses’ on rematch

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather’s long-awaited rematch has taken an unexpected turn. The fight, announced in February, was presented as a professional bout scheduled for September.

That announcement surprised fans, given the history between the two fighters and the fact that the unbeaten American was retired. It also positioned the event as one of boxing’s biggest modern spectacles.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Talks of Rematch With Manny Pacquiao - The New York Times

However, recent comments from Mayweather have created uncertainty. His suggestion that the contest could be an exhibition has raised questions about whether the fight will proceed as initially planned.

Pacquiao has now responded directly to Mayweather’s stance. He made it clear that, from his perspective, there is no ambiguity about the agreement in place.

Speaking at a press conference, ‘Pac-man’ insisted both fighters signed for a professional bout.

He said (via Fight Hub TV): “[The] Proposal of an exhibition was long time ago, a year after our first fight, but I didn’t agree and I wanted it to be a [real] fight.

“So he signed what I signed, he signed a real fight, and I signed a real fight and he got his advance. So there’s no reason to make excuses for that.”

Those comments align with statements from his camp. Representatives have maintained that ‘Money’ has signed multiple agreements and has already taken an advance on his purse for the fight.

That context has intensified scrutiny on Mayweather’s recent remarks. His claim that the bout is an exhibition and that the venue is uncertain directly contradicts earlier announcements.

Despite the conflicting narratives, the fight is still expected to go ahead. With financial commitments already in place, it appears unlikely that either side will walk away from such a high-profile event.

Promoter reveals surprising venue and date for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Set for Dublin Showdown

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have reportedly agreed to finally meet in the ring this autumn—but in a surprising twist, organizers have chosen Dublin instead of the UK as the host city.

Both former heavyweight champions remain major figures in boxing despite accumulating six losses between them. They came close to fighting multiple times, most notably in 2021 when they held all the major belts, and fans have continued to demand the matchup ever since.

Poll: Will Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua actually happen in 2021? | Bad Left Hook

Why Dublin? A Surprising Venue Choice

Fury’s strong Irish connections—through his heritage and amateur boxing career—make Dublin a meaningful location for him. Still, promoters rarely stage major pay-per-view boxing events there, and many expected a blockbuster fight of this magnitude to take place in London or Manchester.

By choosing Dublin, organizers may have found neutral ground that satisfies both camps. However, fans continue to hope that promoters might still reconsider the venue before final confirmation.

Promoter Confirms Fight Plans

During a press conference ahead of Derek Chisora vs Deontay Wilder, veteran promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed key details about the long-anticipated fight.

Speaking to IFL TV, Sauerland stated that organizers have already finalized the deal, including the date and venue.

He also highlighted the stakes for Chisora and Wilder, noting that the winner could face Oleksandr Usyk next.

Sauerland later confirmed that Fury vs Joshua is “done” for autumn in Dublin—a claim reporter Joe Pugh reinforced, suggesting a September or October timeline.

Potential Mega Event in Ireland

The Dublin event could grow into a historic boxing spectacle. Katie Taylor may also fight on the card as she eyes a career finale at Croke Park, a venue capable of hosting over 82,000 fans.

Promoter Frank Warren has also teased additional major fights, including one involving Pierce O’Leary. He even hinted at a rare collaboration with Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn, which could elevate the event into one of Europe’s biggest boxing nights.

What This Means for Fans

If confirmed, Fury vs Joshua in Dublin would mark one of the most significant heavyweight clashes in recent years—both for its long-awaited nature and its unexpected location.

While the venue choice has divided opinion, the fight itself remains one of the most anticipated matchups in modern boxing.

Why Tiger Woods Called Pres. Trump From Scene Of Rollover Crash Before DUI Arrest

By
Tiger Woods
In the time between Tiger Woods flipping his car and being arrested for DUI, the golf legend dialed up President Donald Trump from the scene of the crash.

TMZ Sports has obtained body cam footage that shows Tiger hanging around as cops assessed the scene. He was not cuffed at the time and was permitted to sit in a police cruiser before cops had him perform a field sobriety test.

At one point, Tiger walked away from the cruiser and into the distance … forcing police to call him back to the scene. While Tiger is walking back, he appears to be on the phone and can be heard saying, “Thank you so much. All right. You got it. Bye.”

The officer then asked Tiger to remain close by … to which he replied: “Yeah, I was just talking with the President.”

Of course, as we previously reported, Trump remarked on Woods’ crash from a tarmac next to Air Force 1 before news broke that Tiger had been arrested.

“I feel so bad. He’s got some difficulty — there was an accident, and that’s all I know,” Trump said at the time. “A very close friend of mine, he’s an amazing person, an amazing man. But some difficulty. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Tiger Woods

 

After returning to where the officer and Tiger’s manager were standing, Woods announced that Trump was “very apologetic for what he did last night.”

That is likely in reference to Trump appearing on FOX News’ “The Five” the day before and saying Tiger would NOT play in the 2026 Masters Tournament — days after Woods left the door open on a potential return.

Woods is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr.

Trump and Woods have a long history — the two have played golf together for years and have publicly praised each other.
