Terence Crawford responds to Ryan Garcia’s callout to end retirement and face him

Terence Crawford has sent a fiery response back to the latest fight offer from Ryan Garcia.

Crawford and Garcia have been involved in a heated back and forth over the past few months, with ‘King Ry’ keen to bring the five-weight world champion out of retirement for a fight.

It seemed the bad blood could be reaching its conclusion after Garcia’s second round knockout victory over Conor Benn on Saturday, with Crawford congratulating his rival for his win.

Garcia doesn’t seem to keen on bringing their feud to an end though as he escalated it once again on Monday by sending further insults at ‘Bud’ during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show.

Ryan Garcia goes OFF on Terence Crawford 👀

“Nobody knows who the f*** he is. He has to come back to boxing. He knows that. The security didn't even know who the f*** he was.

He didn’t do everything he needed to do in the sport yet. Bro, you know you got more on the plate.…

Crawford has now responded on social media, first hitting back at ‘King Ry’ for the comments that he made.

“@RyanGarcia you’re one funny guy I tell you. You really a movie character, that’s why I’m entertaining you. You have absolutely nothing and I mean nothing to be jealous of kid. It seem like you’re the jealous one, mad because I retired my way. It’s ok just take note and you’ll be ok.”

Crawford then dismissed any chance of coming out of retirement to face Garcia, instead naming the fighters that ‘King Ry’ should be taking on instead.

It’s ok @RyanGarcia ima let you live because you got way too many people to worry about other than me my boy! @Realdevinhaney @KeyshawnDavis8 @ShakurStevenson @HeIsRichardson @TeofimoLopez them guys who you need to worry about not me. I know you want that check tho.”

Along with the quintet of Devin Haney, Keyshawn Davis, Shakur Stevenson, Richardson Hitchins and Teofimo Lopez that Crawford mentioned, it seems that Gervonta Davis is also keen for a fight with Garcia, though ‘King Ry’ has hit back at the terms offered.
