Terence Crawford - English
Turki Alalshikh - English
Over the past few years, it has felt like boxing has gotten back to delivering when it comes to big fights between elite boxers. Getting more power promoters into the sport has helped in that regard, but so has the willingness of fighters to put their legacies on the line.
We’ve seen it with Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin and many more. In less than three months, Canelo will do that once again, when he battles Terence Crawford, who’s coming up two weight classes in order to chase greatness. Early in the promotion of the bout, both boxers had been cordial and respectful of each other. But that changed during an intense face-off this week.
Crawford laughs at Canelo’s team
Both Canelo and “Bud” Crawford claim this fight will be “different”
The two got into it once again on Friday, during another press conference to build up more hype in the fight. As if the bout needed any extra plot lines, Alvarez and Crawford went back-and-forth in a strong way. The Mexican started it out by claiming that Turki Alalshikh asked him to “spice things up” by avoiding boring fighters for his next bout.
Crawford took offense to that, but he became much more mad when Alvarez tried to poke holes in his resume by saying he hasn’t fought anyone of note. “Bud” became a bit heated towards the end, when he proclaimed that Canelo will turn into a “nobody when I stomp a mudhole in your a**”.
The two boxers then did one final face-off with the event almost three months out. Both just stared at each other like stone-cold killers. This one will be epic.

Stejně obyvatel jako Opava, Faerské ostrovy přesto píšou historii. K finále MS jim chyběl krůček
Že ostrovní stát patřící pod Dánsko není radno podceňovat, poznali už také čeští házenkáři, kteří s Faeřany v kvalifikaci na mistrovství Evropy před čtyřmi roky prohráli 26:27. A od té doby země s pouhými 55 tisíci obyvateli, kde národním sportem není házená, ale fotbal, udělala další velký progres. Loni si poprvé zahrála na kontinentálním šampionátu, kde uhrála třeba šokující remízu 26:26 s Norskem.Tím se Faerské ostrovy už nezpochybnitelně zapsaly na házenkářskou mapu a ukázaly, že se s nimi musí počítat. „Házená je u nás národní sport,“ prohlásil Hjalti Mohr Jacobsen, trenér juniorského výběru, který stojí za aktuálním úspěchem mladíků.„Všechno začíná v našich sportovních halách, které jsou otevřené pořád, a děti si tam mohou kdykoliv jít zahrát házenou. Tráví tím opravdu spoustu času,“ vysvětloval Jacobsen, jenž je také asistentem u seniorské reprezentace, pro web Mezinárodní házenkářské federace IHF.„Progres začal teprve před deseti lety, kdy se někteří rodiče spojili a umožnili, aby hráči z celého souostroví trénovali společně.
