Sampson Lewkowicz, manager of the WBO and WBC world junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora, spoke about the fight with interim WBO champion Terence Crawford.
It looks like Crawford only wants to fight Canelo. If Canelo gets $100 million for the Crawford fight, he will take it and knock the shit out of Crawford. He's not stupid. It's an easy fight, and that's it. It's the end of Crawford's career. If Canelo doesn't take the Crawford fight, we’re ready to fight Crawford. All of our efforts are on Crawford. We have nothing else in mind. We want to fight Crawford. Sebastian believes that he will beat Crawford, and when he does, he will become a superstar. Sebastian has the balls and is a dangerous fight for anybody.
