Crawford will box with the Russians. Must win and go to Hearn
On the night of 10-11 December, American Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) will face off against Russian David Avanesyan (29-3-1, 17 KOs). Yes, the Russians will fight for the title, although the access of the citizens of the offensive country to the title battles has not been announced anywhere.
Terence will fight for the first time without Bob Arum in the person of his supporter. And Eddie Hearn predicts a failure in pay-per-view sales.
Crawford had long wanted to get away from the Arum. The dream came true, but the big fight against Spence still hasn’t come true.
Terence Crawford’s career is a bit strange. You look at the record – there are only the best boxers and very sure victories. Look. The American has defeated Victor Postol, John Molina, Felix Diaz, Julius Indongo, Jeff Horn, Jose Benavidez, Amir Khan, Egidius Kavaliauskas, Kell Brook and Sean Porter back-to-back since 2016. Of these, only Postol took twelve laps.
You can’t call this record incredible, but it’s very, very cool – easily. Actually the only thing missing here is Errol Spence for a complete set. And Crawford became the absolute world champion, which his main potential rival could not yet.
And everything seems fine, but still something is missing. There is not enough volume and importance to all this. Everyone knows Crawford is a great boxer. Everyone understands that Terence can beat anyone who is not too big for him. And he confirms it in the ring. Everything. That’s how you describe Terence.
There aren’t enough certainty victories. Crawford went through several categories, won all-around, was absolute but went no further. For example, besides Canelo, although there are conversations about it. Seriously though this is a confrontation for a trilogy, I still haven’t met Errol Spence.
By the way, the American is 35 years old. The clock is already noisy, does not click. And Crawford hasn’t boxed again in a year. His conversations with Bob Arum about the expiration of his contract went on for a long time. The organizer said he couldn’t make any money with Terence. Crawford wanted money that suited his talent.
They rubbed this issue for a long time. Then they argued for Bob to hand over the boxing business to his son. After beating the same Sean Porter, they reconciled and took a photo together. But they could not agree on anything. Bob couldn’t figure out how to give Terence more money, Crawford didn’t want less.
Looks like a fight with Spence. But again no. Errol agreed, they announced they were on their way for a very long time, but we only had one thing. Terence said he was offered twenty million each, but Spence’s backer was against the fight. Erol said there was no offer. It looks like they will never meet.
However, in this local battle Crawford lost. Even if he’s right. For not providing evidence and eventually Spence will have a high-level challenge and Crawford will have a meeting with David Avanesyan. You really have to want to see the competition here.
If we take all the competitors in the last six years, Avanesyan is as famous as Kavaliauskas and Felix Diaz. If not lower. The choice is not the most obvious. In terms of boxing, it might not be that bad.
Avanesyan is a normal option for a return. But he shouldn’t have boxed for the belt.
It is not entirely clear why the Russians are boxing for the belt. The WBO joined the sanctions of other organizations to prevent the Russians from fighting for titles. And then after nine months of the war they took the Russians and let them.
Moreover, fantasies that Avanesyan, like Beterbiev, are not Russian, do not even work here. Because it isn’t. He was born in Russia, he represents it, he always has two flags on his chest – Armenia and a land of terror.
Yes, he did not support the war anywhere. But he didn’t object to that either. It has not been seen in the Crimea or anywhere else. But what difference does it make if it’s Russian? At the same time, the WBO absolutely ignores questions about it. They act like nothing is happening.
Crawford is the undoubted favourite. Bookies give 1.07 for his win and 7.50 for his opponent. And this is absolutely normal. In general, it would be possible to say that Terence did not enter the fight without a knockout.
There is no component where Avanesyan is better than Crawford. No more, no longer, no more arms. There’s no stronger punch, and it’s certainly not more technical. The good thing about him is that he goes forward, loves to fight. However, the American not only loves boxing, but also does it brilliantly.
We can compare him to Aegidius Kavaliauskas, but no. But the Lithuanian representative is more technical. But the pressure and operation of power are indeed similar. Overall – a Crawford customer will return.
Still, when you haven’t boxed for a year, you can sometimes go to such an opponent. Get him to sleep and mind your business. That’s right, I want more from Terence. And given all the hype surrounding the Spence mega-fight and what happened at the end, fans are certainly not pleased.
Moreover, Eddie Hearn is confident that this show will not even sell ten thousand paid broadcasts. And to be honest, the estimate seems reasonable. It’s a very good idea to pay for Crawford’s duel against Avanesyan, most of whom are not media stars.
While with Arum, Hearn had long wanted to sign Terence. And maybe she’s ready to fight for him in England. And the American himself does not care – he said it directly. Therefore, you need to highlight the Russian face, and then move on to serious conversations. Because 35 years for this is nothing.

TYSON FURY: “Usyk will give up his champion title and there is a reason for that”
Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:
“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”
Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.
Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.
Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.
