Terence Crawford has dispelled injury rumors

According to The Sun: Terence Crawford has dismissed injury rumors ahead of his fight with Canelo Alvarez, set to take place this Saturday in Las Vegas.

Crawford denied claims about his injured shoulder, jokingly noting:

“Yes, my shoulder is broken, everyone knows that. Don't tell Canelo! Maybe it's the right, maybe the left. Both shoulders have issues. But shh, keep it a secret.”

The 37-year-old boxer, who began his career with titles in the lightweight division (135 pounds), has managed to become a champion in four different weight classes, winning titles at 140, 147, and 154 pounds.

Canelo, 35, has also won titles in the 154-pound weight class and has achieved success at heavier weights up to 175 pounds.

This time, Crawford will have to move up by TWO weight classes since his last fight, in which he defeated Israel Madrimov in August 2024, capturing the WBA title.
