Terence Crawford<\/a> has been issued a stern warning ahead of a potential clash with one unbeaten world champion in particular.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old from Omaha etched his name into the boxing history books once again last month as he defeated Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez via unanimous decision<\/a> to capture the undisputed super-middleweight championship.<\/p>\n

Many people believe Crawford has now reaffirmed his status as the pound-for-pound fighter in the world, while others also feel the five-weight world champion now belongs in the conversation for being one of the greatest fighters of all time.<\/p>\n

As rumours begin to circulate about what could be next for Crawford<\/a>, reports have been suggesting that he could actually drop down to middleweight next for a clash with the hard-hitting Kazakh star Janibek Alimkhanuly.<\/p>\n

Speaking on YouTube<\/a>, Hall of Fame inductee Tim Bradley<\/a> appeared to warn \u2018Bud\u2019 ahead of a future match-up with Janibek, as he claims the unbeaten world middleweight champion is a \u2018damn killer\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cJanibek ain\u2019t no joke. Oh no. That is a tough fight for Terence Crawford. I love me some Crawford, man, y\u2019all know what time it is, but I gotta call a spade a damn spade. Janibek ain\u2019t nothing to mess with. He cold. Southpaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou ain\u2019t know much about him? That\u2019s fine, you ain\u2019t gotta know much about him. I\u2019m here to tell you \u2013 speed, power, size, defence, offence, footwork, angle. Dude is cold, man. He\u2019s a damn killer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Crawford goes down and faces that dude, his legacy\u2026 It may not be a marquee name \u2026 everybody going to be tuning in to see the greatness of Terence Crawford \u2026 and I\u2019m here to tell you, Janibek ain\u2019t here to be messed with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alimkhanuly currently holds the unified WBO and IBF world middleweight titles, making the most recent defence of his belts against Anauel Ngamissengue back in April.<\/p>\n

It has been speculated in the last few days that Janibek could be set to face WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara in a three-belt unification clash next, though this bout is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford has been issued a stern warning ahead of a potential clash with one unbeaten world champion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":181591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-181590","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
