Yet, judging by the fighter’s response relayed by Saudi Arabia’s fight maker Turki Alalshikh, Crawford is only interested in a Saul "Canelo" Alvarez bout as his 37th birthday arrives next month, and the possible pursuit of becoming an undisputed 154-pound champion is not happening.

Why does Terence Crawford have Canelo Alvarez tunnel vision?

Three-time cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis announced on Twitter that he’s calling it a career after nearly 15 years in the ring. The Latvian spent his first six years as a big fish in a small pond on the Euro circuit before moving up to heavyweight to destroy Mahmoud Charr with a single punch. Two years later, he claimed his first world title with a decision over Marco Huck in Germany, in the process earning a spot in the inaugural WBSS cruiserweight tournament. There, he defeated Mike Perez before giving Oleksandr Usyk arguably the hardest fight of his professional career in a majority decision loss.
