Terence Crawford is baffled at suggestions he is being considered to face Ryan Garcia.Crawford has been beckoned to come out of retirement by a whole host of big names, after calling it a day following September 2025 victory over Canelo Alvarez.Crawford is being eyed by organisers to face Garcia if Joshua vs Fury somehow collapsesGettyHowever, despite jokingly teasing a return against Jaron Ennis, ‘Bud’ has so far resisted making any concrete suggestion he will be back.In recent weeks, he has been called out by Garcia for a blockbuster clash, with the pair going back and forth in a war of words.But the American has put down their rivalry to a simple feud outside of the ring, and has no intentions of making a U-turn.Crawford considered for return?In a stunning report from Mike Coppinger, a journalist for Turki Alalshikh owned Ring Magazine, he suggested Crawford is being eyed for a comeback.Coppinger suggested that Crawford was being explored as an option to headline the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua event in December if it collapses due to ongoing issues.He claimed that Garcia was the potential opponent in question, whom had already declared he wants to return before the end of 2027 after beating Conor Benn.Any bout seems highly unlikely, and would only take place in the US, alongside the planned Shakur Stevenson vs Manny Pacquiao clash.Crawford and Garcia respond to claimThe former five-weight world champion was quick to react to the reports.He was left completely baffled by the suggestions.Crawford wrote on X in response to Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger: “Where did you hear this at?”Crawford retired unbeaten and isn’t willing to risk his perfect record right nowGettyHe then wrote in a separate tweet: “Damn am I [fighting Garcia]? Why I don’t know about this?”It is clear that the suggestions were no more than ideas, with Crawford yet to likely be directly contacted.Garcia on the other hand was extremely keen to take the bout, as he previously explained.The WBC 147lbs champion wrote: “You know I’m ready to Turki to run the fade. I’m ready!”Could Crawford actually come back?Dana White and Turki Alalshikh have recently hatched public plans to try and bring the Omaha technician from retirement.But it would likely take a lucrative and sizeable opportunity to get any comeback over the line.Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.Alalshikh included Crawford in his list of ideal fights, which also proposed a rematch with Alvarez.But for now, as his trainer suggested, he is firmly focused on staying with his gloves off.
