Terence Crawford’s return to boxing looks set to occur sooner fairly than later.
Remaining tight-lipped on his future since adding the undisputed super middleweight crown to his mantle back in September, undefeated megastar Terence Crawford admitted his future was still undecided.
And linked with a rematch clash with former world champion Canelo Alvarez, the Omaha native issued a recent callout to a current middleweight kingpin, seemingly squashing probabilities of sharing the ring with the Mexican again.
Hoping to make further history within the ring in his immediate comeback, Crawford appears to be inching closer to a return to motion.

Terence Crawford lining up March return to the ring
Initially linked with a rematch against Canelo in his comeback to motion, Nebraska star Crawford also found ties to a short-notice clash with Jake Paul, after his failed return against lightweight champion Gervonta Davis later this month.
Nonetheless, in an update posted by Chris Mannix, a possible March outing for Crawford is currently targeted, which might conceivably throw a rematch with Canelo into immediate jeopardy.
“Terence Crawford just isn’t in the combo to face Jake Paul, sources say. Crawford is targeting his own event in March,” Mannix posted on X.
Hoping so as to add a fourth undisputed crown to his trophy cabinet in what would make him the primary fighter in the game’s history to attain that feat, Crawford has sights fixed on a pairing with a certain Kazakh standout.

Keeping a firm eye on proceedings next month, Crawford confirmed his interest in a pairing against the unbeaten 17-0 star Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Returning to motion in December, the WBO and IBF middleweight champion will tackle Erislandy Lara in a bid so as to add the WBA championship to his résumé.
Welcoming the prospect to tackle ‘Qazaq Style’ in the long run, Crawford sent a notable message to the middleweight star.
