Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson warned Terence Crawford not to take the fight against Canelo Alvarez, months before their historic clash was booked.
On September 13, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will clash in one of the biggest boxing fights in recent memory, with the winner taking the undisputed super middleweight title.
Tyson isn’t the only fighter to have warned Crawford about taking the fight against Canelo, with several former pros showing concern for the difference in weight between the two.
Despite the widespread concern, Crawford has actually been backed to beat Canelo by the only fighter to have shared the ring with them both, Amir Khan.

And ahead of the Mexican’s fight against ‘Bud’, Bivol has offered Crawford some words of technical advice which could help him become just the third fighter to beat the all-time great.
