Once I beat Lomachenko, Crawford didn’t haven’t any drawback saying that he’ll come down and battle me, so what’s up? I’m not right here to play video games, I need to battle the perfect as a result of that’s what it’s all about. I would like to check myself and problem myself and individuals are going to be like ‘ooh, that may be a problem’, the one problem that I’ve in entrance of me is myself.”

Then there’s that fighter that he confronted they usually tried to make in into a giant factor and he was injured too? Kell Brook, along with his eye. Each fighter that Crawford has confronted all through the 147lb division, whether or not it appears good on paper, they’ve been injured. I’m wholesome, battle the perfect fighter at a more healthy weight.”
