Terence Crawford could have the opportunity to make yet more history.
Crawford became the first man to win the undisputed title in three divisions in the four-belt era when he outpointed Canelo Alvarez to become the undisputed super middleweight champion in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The Omaha man became a five-weight world champion with victory over the Mexican great and has now seemingly been given the opportunity to win a world title in a sixth division.
Unified IBF and WBO middleweight world champion, Janibek Alimkhanuly took to social media to callout the 38-year-old.
“If Crawford agreed to fight me, I would gladly face him,” he wrote on X.
“And our fight would be the kind of match every fan would watch with excitement, not wanting to miss a single second.”
The unbeaten Kazakh has teased a “big fight” on the horizon, with some reports suggesting he is likely to face WBC titlist, Carlos Adames in a unification clash.
‘Bud’ has remained coy over his next move, with some calling for him to retire.
Crawford’s career-long trainer, Brian ‘Bo Mac’ McIntyre believes his charge has a few fights left in his career and admits he’d be open to a move to 160lbs, should he desire that challenge.
“You know what? He made it look so easy, you know what I’m saying?” McIntyre told Fight Hub TV.
“[He’s got] two, three more in him.
“Training camp, we’ll try harder.”
“If he wanna do it [move to 160].
“It would be a challenge.
“It he wanna challenge himself, yeah I don’t mind.”

As for Alvarez, the 35-year-old is set for a spell on the sidelines after undergoing elbow surgery, shortly after his defeat to Crawford.
The four-weight world champion still has two fights remaining on his deal with Turki Alalshikh’s Riyadh Season and is expected to honour those bouts, despite suffering the third loss of his professional career.
