Speaking to the AK and Barak Show on SiriusXM, the American gave his view on the situation. He said, “We may have a disagreement right now, but we’re gonna get it figured out.

Who can Terence Crawford fight next?

The only fight that would make sense for Crawford would be the Errol Spence Jr unification fight. However, there may be other big fights in the division. After his fight against Kell Brook, he expressed his desire to fight Manny Pacquiao.

Though that fight might be a stretch, it could happen. Pacquiao is still looking for a fight, and Arum could get the big money event he is after. However, what would that say about Terence Crawford and the criticisms he receives for not fighting the best in the division? It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds. Despite this, it is good news for fans that their relationship is on the mend.
