Ilia Topuria strongly advised not to pursue boxing match with Terence Crawford

Fernando Quiles Jr. - September 19, 2025

Ilia Topuria has been calling for a showdown with boxing great Terence Crawford, but one UFC fighter doesn’t think it’s a good idea. Topuria has certainly seen his stock soar thanks to stellar performances against Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway, and Charles Oliveira. “El Matador” is a former UFC featherweight titleholder, who vacated the gold to eventually capture the lightweight championship. Many believe Topuria has taken a page out of Conor McGregor’s playbook, and his callout of “Bud” Crawford is an example of that.

Dillon Danis "I could strangle [Terence Crawford] in under 30 seconds"

Dylan Bowker - September 18, 2025

Dillon Danis tipped his proverbial cap to Terence Crawford but also made it clear he feels like he could make short work of the prolific boxer. Crawford recently added to his already rock-solid legacy by becoming the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion across three weight classes in the four-belt era. ‘Bud’ Crawford did this by putting on a masterclass performance, jumping up multiple weight classes to defeat Canelo Alvarez in a highly viewed Netflix broadcast. With Crawford on top of the world as the undisputed super middleweight champion, it makes sense that a professional provocateur like Danis would interject himself into the situation to some degree.
