Oleksandr Usyk is backing Terence Crawford to beat Canelo Alvarez if the pair ever agree to stage a contest.
Since Crawford defeated Errol Spence last summer, he’s constantly been linked to a showdown with Canelo but first he must deal with Israil Madrimov on August 3.
As it stands, Canelo has no fight planned after retaining his super-middleweight titles against Jaime Munguia last month.
The Mexican star is one of boxing’s most targeted fighters with numerous contenders chasing him, but he’ll be a keen spectator when Crawford fights later this summer.
“Terence is my friend, but he’s a crazy man. I say Terence wins,” said Usyk when speaking to the 3 Knockdown Rule podcast.
“Listen, Terence is a different man. Terence works in two stances; he’s a very, very, very smart man.”
