The New King of Boxing Wants Another Crown: Terence Crawford Has a New Target in His Sights
Terence Crawford refuses to slow down: after dethroning Canelo Álvarez, he's now targeting the kings of the middleweight division. With Janibek Alimkhanuly vs Erislandy Lara approaching, the champion sends a clear message: “I’ve got my eyes on them.”
The new king of boxing wants more glory
Terence Crawford refuses to slow down his legacy for even a second. After shaking the boxing world and dethroning Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez to become the undisputed champion at 168 pounds, the American already has a new mission: conquer the middleweight division (160 lbs) and add another historic crown.
His message was clear, direct, and ruthless: “I’ve got my eyes on them.” A cold, calculated warning from a fighter who now looks down at everyone from the top of the boxing world.
Crawford, who already made history as the first boxer to unify three divisions in the four-belt era, now wants something monumental: six world titles across six different weight classes.
Janibek vs Lara: the key to the next ring monster
Crawford’s focus is on the winner of the upcoming clash between Janibek Alimkhanuly and Erislandy Lara, who will collide on December 6 in a middleweight unification bout.
Janibek, WBO & IBF champion (17-0, 12 KOs), wasted no time responding and declared that a fight against Crawford is “the matchup everyone wants to see.” Meanwhile, Lara, WBA champion (31-3-3, 19 KOs), looks to disrupt those plans and prove that his experience remains a dangerous weapon.
This showdown won’t just crown the middleweight king… it will also reveal who will stand across from a living legend next.
Crawford sends a message, and the division trembles
Crawford isn’t playing games. “Good luck, Janibek,” he said with a subtle grin. His words confirm that both contenders are under the sharp eye of the Omaha superstar.
The Kazakh quickly fired back: “The best must face the best.” If the verbal tension is already heating up, imagine the explosion if they meet in the ring.
Boxing may be entering a new golden era
If Crawford successfully drops to 160 and wins, his name would enter an almost mythical category in sports history. From dominance to total ambition, his roadmap is clear: Reign at super middleweight, conquer middleweight and continue building his legacy
Crawford doesn’t just want to fight… he wants to rule. And when the king speaks, everyone listens.
