Crawford and Garcia linked to Fury-Joshua replacement

Crawford reacts as rumors emerge over possible December 11 switch

According to the latest reports, Terence Crawford and Ryan Garcia could step in for Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, as the bout between the two has run into trouble again. The commotion began when it was revealed that the fight is once again in serious jeopardy due to unresolved issues. This news broke just one day after the official announcement of the bout. Now rumors have surfaced that Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford could replace the main event. Terence Crawford has already responded to these reports, though rather noncommittally. On X, he wrote:

"Dam what I miss?"

This news is relevant because Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford have often been linked in the past. They’ve traded jabs frequently, but there’s never been any indication of a bout being arranged on such short notice. His reaction is either a clever ploy, he’s just playing dumb, or nothing has actually been communicated to the fighters yet. Ryan Garcia, on the other hand, reacted quite differently. He seemed visibly ready for such a last-minute bout. He tagged Turki Alalshikh and wrote:

"I’m ready!!!!"

But that doesn't mean anything yet. The rumors are just circulating because of the current tension between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. If things calm down, these rumors will die down too, at least as far as December 11 is concerned. What do you think? Who will we actually see in the ring on December 11?
