Middleweight champion Jermall Charlo is still waiting to land a career-defining fight, and he’s open to dropping down in weight in order for it to become a reality.

M Resort Casino, LAS VEGAS - Newly inducted Hall of Fame member Floyd Mayweather held a press conference on Monday night, along with along with MMA star Mikuru Asakura, who Mayweather will face in an exhibition on a date to be determined in September as part of a Rizin Fighting Federation show. The event will be streamed live on RIZN Fight Pass.

If the recent show of enthusiasm from the normally tight-lipped Terence Crawford is any indication, the long awaited showdown with Errol Spence Jr. may be imminent.

Errol Spence has grown accustomed to fielding questions about when he and Terence Crawford will collide to determine welterweight supremacy. The good news is that the in-demand undisputed welterweight championship appears to be closer to reality than at any point in the near four-year buildup to such a showdown

SANTA MONICA, California – Jermell Charlo calmly answered the first few questions he was asked Wednesday about Terence Crawford. Charlo understandably became annoyed, though, once Crawford became the theme of a group interview session while Charlo shadowboxed during an open workout at Churchill Boxing Club. The IBF/WBA/WBC 154-pound champion couldn’t comprehend why he was continually asked about Crawford – a welterweight who seems headed toward a showdown with Charlo’s teammate, Errol Spence Jr. – and not Brian Castano, Charlo’s opponent Saturday night at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Undefeated rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis reiterated his intention to “take over” the star-studded 147-pound division ahead of his IBF Welterweight Title Eliminator showdown against fellow unbeaten Custio Clayton in the co-main event of action this Saturday, May 14 live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Terence Crawford has been chasing career-defining fights for several years. Now that the WBO welterweight champion is a free agent, he’s pounding the table for a potential murderers’ row of foes. Chief atop the pound-for-pound star’s hit list is a much-desired super fight against unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.

Brian McIntyre has no qualms making bold predictions when it comes to his star charge Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford. The longtime trainer of the WBO welterweight titlist from Omaha, Nebraska, stoked the flames in a recent interview regarding a potential 147-pound full title-unification fight between Crawford and WBA, WBC, and IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. The fight has taken renewed urgency after Spence demolished Yordenis Ugas last month at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, to unify three of the four welterweight titles.

Former 147-pound champion Keith Thurman has seemingly found himself to be the odd man out of the welterweight picture following his July 2019 loss to Manny Pacquiao.

Top Rank boss Bob Arum has gone from being Terence Crawford’s career-long promoter to an adversarial executive. The WBO welterweight champion Crawford is currently a promotional free agent after severing ties with Top Rank shortly after his stoppage win against Shawn Porter in November. In the post-fight press conference following that fight, Crawford made it clear he was steering his career away from the Las Vegas-based company.
