Following his retirement, Terence Crawford<\/a> has made way for new stars to take over his former divisions, with the next 18 months set to be telling as boxing discovers its new pound-for-pound contenders.<\/p>\n Crawford claimed the undisputed super-lightweight world title when he defeated Julius Indongo back in 2017 and replicated the feat up at welterweight six years later with a dominant triumph over Errol Spence Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Omaha operator then stepped up to super-welterweight, where he dethroned Israil Madrimov upon his 154lb debut to claim the WBA world title, before a shocking jump up to super-middleweight.<\/p>\n Up at 168lbs, Crawford registered a legacy-defining triumph over then undisputed ruler Canelo Alvarez, which is sure to be spoken of for generations to come. Soon afterwards his retirement was announced, leaving the super-middleweight titles fragmented.<\/p>\n Now, at super-welterweight, it appears as though the champions are ready and willing to fight both the top contenders and one another, with Xander Zayas recently becoming boxing\u2019s youngest unified world champion and then signing for a fight with Jaron \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
