Taking it to his Twitter, he wrote, “Heard Bud wasn’t able to make it on with the media today. Some say that’s a 10-8 rd for me… also heard the 1st press conference was a 10-9 rd for me….. MORE RDS TO COME!”

In his last outing, ‘Showtime’ beat Sebastian Formella to claim the vacant WBC silver welterweight title. However, he has yet to return since August 2020. That may have been due to the fact that he was waiting for a title shot as the silver titleholder. Porter, who has now gotten this opportunity, will look to make the most of it.
‘Showtime’ marches his opponents down, throwing his best shots to break his adversary’s rhythm. He will look to do the same against Terence Crawford. As Porter is a former champion, he will have the ability to provide ‘Bud’ with a stern test.
However, the 37-0 boxer is no accidental champion and has made a career by conquering the best on offer.
