A few months back, Crawford was getting aligned to face the all-time boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao. In fact, this contest lured the fans extensively and everyone was keen to see both the technicians go all out against each other. Unfortunately for the fans, this fight couldn’t reach fruition and it eventually fell through.
Moving further, ‘Pacman’ got lined up to face Crawford’s arch-rival, Errol Spence Jr. And with that, ‘Bud’ was left without an opponent. However, the latter’s promoter, Bob Arum, has definitely arrived at a fight date for one of his biggest boxers.
