Terence Crawford has responded to Ryan Garcia after the former world champion was called out, questioning why Garcia did not challenge him when he was still an active fighter.
Crawford made his position clear with a pointed response, while also joking about his age.
“I LIKE YOU I REALLY DO BECAUSE YOU’RE FUNNY. WHY YOU NEVER CALLED ME OUT WHEN I WAS AN ACTIVE FIGHTER? AND I’M OLD. WOULDN’T YOU SAY, WHAT WOULD YOU GET OUTTA FIGHTING THIS OLD GUY?”
The exchange adds another chapter to the ongoing attention surrounding Crawford and Garcia.
Crawford is one of boxing’s most accomplished fighters, while Garcia has continued to make his ambitions known through public call-outs. Their interaction has now put the focus back on whether there is any realistic possibility of the two sharing the ring.
Crawford’s response also directly addresses the timing of Garcia’s call-out. Rather than focusing only on the potential matchup, he questioned why Garcia did not make the challenge while he was competing regularly.
His reference to being “old” was delivered with a joking tone, but the underlying point was clear: Crawford believes the timing of Garcia’s interest is worth questioning.
For Garcia, the call-out keeps his name involved in conversations around major fights. However, Crawford’s response shifts the discussion toward when Garcia chose to make the challenge and what a fight with an older, accomplished opponent would represent.
At this stage, the comments themselves do not confirm that a fight has been discussed or agreed. The latest development is Crawford’s response to Garcia’s call-out.
For now, the back-and-forth gives boxing fans another matchup to debate, with Crawford making it clear that he has noticed Garcia’s challenge — and has a question of his own.
