Terence Crawford<\/a> is still riding high off the back of a historic victory over Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez in September.<\/p>\n

The switch-hitter from Omaha, Nebraska moved to 42-0 in his professional campaign when he jumped up to super-middleweight to dethrone Mexican icon Alvarez, winning a unanimous decision to become undisputed in a third division.<\/p>\n

At 38-years-old, many felt Crawford would bow out at the very top of his game, however the man himself has hinted that he will fight on and his team support this decision.<\/p>\n

Whilst a Canelo rematch may have been a top option, Crawford<\/a> recently shared an insight into his plans when attending the WBO convention, appearing in a video with boxing manager Egis Klimas and announcing that he is considering a fight with his charge, Janibek Alimkhanuly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got my eyes on you, Janibek. Good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Khazak puncher is also undefeated and currently holds the WBO and IBF Middleweight World Titles. It was confirmed this week that he will look to add a third belt to his collection when he faces WBA champ Erislandy Lara on December 6.<\/a><\/p>\n

Having held straps at lightweight, super-lightweight, welterweight, super-welterweight and now super-middleweight, the middleweight gap in between clearly intrigues \u2018Bud.\u2019 If he can made the fight for three of the four major belts, it becomes all the more appealing.<\/p>\n

Though the pound for pound star has some time to choose his next opponent, he will soon be expected to make a decision on his titles at 168lbs, either making a defence or vacating to allow the top contenders, potentially including Canelo depending on his plans, to compete for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford is still riding high off the back of a historic victory over Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-251750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
