Terence Crawford<\/a> has named the fight he would most like to see Shakur Stevenson<\/a> involved in.<\/p>\n

Before hanging up the gloves, Crawford was viewed as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, thanks to memorable victories over the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Errol Spence.<\/p>\n

Following Crawford\u2019s retirement in December<\/a>, many onlookers are tipping Stevenson to follow in the footsteps of his close friend and go on to dominate the sport for years to come.<\/p>\n

Stevenson last fought in January when he claimed a one-sided victory over Teofimo Lopez to win the WBO super-lightweight champion, becoming a four-weight world champion in the process and showing he is capable of replicating Crawford\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently unknown who Stevenson is set to take on next, but Crawford has made it clear on social media<\/a> who he would like to see his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 in action against, after he was asked which fight in boxing he wants to see the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cShakur vs Tank.\u201d<\/p>\n

A clash between Stevenson and Gervonta Davis<\/a> has been high on the wish-list of boxing fans for many years, though the recent activity of \u2018Tank\u2019 has left them wondering whether it is ever likely to take place.<\/p>\n

Davis hasn\u2019t fought since a controversial majority decision draw against Lamont Roach in March 2025, and he has subsequently been stripped of his WBA lightweight title.<\/p>\n

It has recently been reported that he is in advanced talks for a return against former foe Isaac Cruz<\/a>, and if that comes to fruition and \u2018Tank\u2019 is victorious, a potential clash against Stevenson would still be one of the biggest fights that can be made in boxing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford has named the fight he would most like to see Shakur Stevenson involved in.
