– What do you think about a potential megafight with Terence Crawford, if you win against Lara?

– It would be a very good fight. And I’ll be ready for it, because it’s a big fight, and I think everyone will be watching.

– How much does it motivate you that Terence Crawford has already mentioned you ahead of this fight?

– My main motivation is to win all four championship belts — that’s what I’m working toward. But the possibility of facing Crawford is a huge push and even bigger motivation.

The fight between Janibek Alimkhanuly (17-0, 12 KOs) and Erislandy Lara will take place on December 6 in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
