Making his way to the ring tonight against Canelo Alvarez, the unbeaten Terence Crawford has made quite the bold pre-fight gift.
Putting his undefeated record on the line, Terence Crawford will challenge undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in a bid to win gold in another division.
Sharing a quite terse pre-fight face-off during a press conference earlier this week, Crawford and Canelo both successfully made weight for the clash overnight.
Set to do their talking in the ring, however, Crawford remains steadfast in his belief of a victory — reflected in quite the unique pre-fight gift he’s received.

Terence Crawford receives 42-0 Rolex timepiece
Sidelined for over a year, Crawford most recently tested light middleweight waters with a championship fight win over Israil Madrimov in a less-than-memorable debut in the division.
And improving his unbeaten run to a staggering 41 straight fights with his win over the Uzbekistan puncher, Crawford has made a pre-fight prediction ahead of his clash with Canelo.
Speaking with WatchGuys ahead of his clash with the Jalisco star, Crawford received a $15,000 Rolex Submariner watch, with a 42-0 engraving on the back — reflecting his record should he taste victory against Canelo in ‘Sin City’.
And while his future in the weight class off the back of his fight with Canelo is still up in the air, Crawford quite humorously ruled out a potential crossover fight in the future at least.
Terence Crawford mocks ‘drunk’ Ilia Topuria over boxing fight preview
Recently running into current UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, Nebraska star Crawford seems to have found himself facing the wrath of the unbeaten Spaniard.
Long previewing a potential move to pro boxing since his initial title success at featherweight, Topuira boldly claimed he would knock out Crawford in the very first exchange if they ever shared the ring together.
However, in a hilarious response from Crawford, the boxing megastar questioned if Topuria was “drunk” or under the influence of alcohol when he made his pre-fight prediction.
