Боксчин Теренс Кроуфорд ирэх арванхоёрдугаар сарын 11-нд Райан Гарсиатай тулалдана гэсэн мэдээллийг олон нийтийн сүлжээнээс олж мэдсэнээ мэдэгдэж, уг цуу яриаг эрс үгүйсгэлээ.
Тайсон Фьюри болон Энтони Жошуа нарын тулаан тодорхойгүй болсонтой холбогдуулан зарим эх сурвалж Кроуфордыг нөхөх хувилбараар нэрлэсэн юм. Энэхүү мэдээлэлд хариу болгон Кроуфорд өөрийн цахим хуудсаараа дамжуулан уг тулааны талаар ямар ч мэдээлэлгүй байгаагаа илэрхийлж, эргэлзээ төрүүлсэн байна.
Мэргэжлийн боксын хүрээнд гарч буй энэхүү үйл явдлыг салбарын шинжээчид зохион байгуулалтын хувьд тодорхойгүй, эмх замбараагүй байдал үүссэний шинж хэмээн дүгнэж байна. Кроуфорд өнгөрсөн жил зодог тайлснаа зарласан бөгөөд түүнийг богино хугацаанд жин хасаж, өөр жингийн боксчинтой тулалдах боломжгүй гэж үзэж байгаа юм.
Одоогоор талуудын зүгээс албан ёсны ямар нэгэн баталгаатай мэдээлэл гараагүй байна. Фьюри болон Жошуа нарын тулааны гэрээтэй холбоотой асуудлууд шийдэгдээгүй байгаа нь промоушнуудыг ийнхүү баталгаагүй нэрсийг олон нийтэд цацахад хүргэж байна хэмээн шүүмжлэл өрнөж байна.

Terence Crawford seems to have learned about his supposed December 11 fight with Ryan Garcia the same way everyone else did: by reading Mike Coppinger’s post. His reaction was short enough to say plenty.
“Dam what I miss?” Crawford posted on X after Coppinger named him and Ryan as a possible replacement attraction if Tyson Fury’s fight with Anthony Joshua falls apart.
Dan Rafael joined the replies: “You’re fighting Ryan Garcia Dec 11 apparently 😂”
Crawford answered with laughing emojis and a question: “dam am I? Why I don’t know about this?”
That exchange doesn’t tell us what Coppinger’s sources heard. It does make the idea of a December fight look awfully thin from Crawford’s side. If he’s joking about learning of it online, nobody has given him a date to put on his calendar.
The claim arrived during a strange evening for the Fury–Joshua promotion. Coppinger reported that their December 11 fight in Cardiff could be called off because of unresolved issues, with Crawford against Ryan floated as an alternative. He then raised Tyson Fury against David Benavidez as another possibility. At that point, the proposed replacements began to sound like someone pulling names from different weight classes out of a hat.

Ryan’s situation hardly makes Crawford a simple substitute. Ryan has discussed fighting Isaac Cruz in December, while Crawford announced his retirement last year. Putting them together would require more than clearing a date on a broadcast schedule.
Crawford didn’t explicitly rule out ever fighting Ryan. He laughed at the suggestion that he was already fighting him on December 11. Until the fighters themselves have something firmer to say, that’s the distinction worth keeping.
This shows complete desperation and pure amateurism behind the scenes. When an A-side pound-for-pound star finds out he is supposedly headlining a stadium event in ten weeks by reading social media gossip on his phone, the entire promotion is flying blind.
Promoters and mouthpieces are throwing wild scenarios at the wall, hoping something sticks because the main event is on life support. The real story here is the absolute mess of Tyson Fury against Anthony Joshua. The moment that fight hit contractual trouble over promotional politics, the power brokers panicked. Instead of fixing their heavyweight headache, someone leaked absurd backup options to buy time and control the narrative.
Floating Crawford against Ryan in Cardiff makes zero practical sense. British fight fans bought tickets for a massive domestic clash between two heavyweights who have spent five years posturing. Staging two American box-office draws in a stadium in Wales in the middle of December is total fantasy. On top of that, Crawford retired after conquering Canelo Alvarez and is not sitting around waiting to jump into a two-month training camp.
You do not wake up an elite technician of Crawford’s caliber and demand he cut weight to fight a dangerous puncher without serious, months-long contractual discussions. Floating Fury against David Benavidez right after only exposed how ridiculous the rumor mill had become. Promoters need to stop floating make-believe backup fights using retired legends and focus on getting their heavyweights to honor their agreements.
