WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (24-0, 17KOs) is ready and willing to move up and fight anyone at junior welterweight - including WBC/WBA champion Danny Garcia.
Crawford will return next Saturday night against mandatory challenger Raymundo Beltran (29-6-1, 17KOs) at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
The defense against Beltran is going to be the final fight for Crawford at 135-pounds. He plans to move up to junior welterweight in 2015.
Garcia (29-0, 17KOs) is regarding as the top fighter at the weight, but he himself is potentially moving up in weight in the near future.
"Yeah this is gonna be my last fight at 135-pounds, my plan is to move up to 140 and expand my horizons there. If that fight [with Danny Garcia] presents itself then yeah [I want it]. I’m willing and up for any challenge," Crawford told On The Ropes Boxing Radio . "It’s a tough weight class, there’s a lot of talent there being that it’s a stacked weight class. I’m just ready to get in there and mingle."
