It is worth noting that Lopez called out Crawford to a fight when we interviewed him a few weeks ago.
“He’s not retired, he’ll come back after what I do to his little bro (Stevenson>)”
It’ll be interesting to see whether the retired Crawford will consider a return to boxing if Lopez beats Stevenson.
