Terence Crawford made history by securing a decision victory over Israil Madrimov, becoming a four-division world champion. Looking ahead, Crawford is eyeing a new challenge, and his management team has successfully requested a 10-day extension from the WBO to further negotiations with 154-lb champion Sebastian Fundora. The two camps now have until October 10th to finalize an agreement before a purse bid is ordered. One way or another, Crawford and Fundora have just ten days left to strike a deal.
If this fight happens, it will likely present Crawford with his biggest challenge yet, as many consider Fundora a more formidable opponent than anyone he has faced previously, including Madrimov. A victory over WBC and WBO junior middleweight champion Fundora would mean Crawford would hold three of the four titles in the 154-lb division.
Crawford is undefeated with a remarkable record of 41 wins, 31 by knockout. Meanwhile, Fundora has 21 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, and 13 knockouts. Both fighters bring impressive stats to the table, setting the stage for an incredible matchup—if it materializes. Even as Crawford’s team works on securing the fight, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn believes there’s a chance ‘Bud’ might retire soon.
Eddie Hearn Speculates on Terence Crawford’s Potential Retirement
Following his victory over Israil Madrimov, Terence Crawford’s future in boxing generates significant discussion. Eddie Hearn is openly speculating about Crawford’s potential retirement and other career aspects. Hearn shared his views on Crawford’s future. He suggested that Crawford may not be interested in fighting Vergil Ortiz or Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis due to the lucrative earnings from his recent bouts. Hearn said,
“I don’t think Crawford will fight again. Because I think he’s made really solid money in his last couple of fights. I don’t think he wants to fight Vergil Ortiz or Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.”

The Matchroom boxing promoter also indicated that Crawford would only return to the ring for a fight with Canelo Alvarez, as that matchup would be monumental and generate significant revenue for both fighters. Currently, Crawford’s next fight remains uncertain, and it’s unpredictable who he will face next.
