Michael Bisping, a former UFC middleweight champion, has expressed interest in a potential boxing match between Ilia Topuria, the UFC lightweight champion, and Terence Crawford, a renowned boxer. Topuria has been vocal about his desire to face Crawford in a crossover fight, claiming he could stop him quickly. Crawford, who recently defeated Canelo Alvarez, has been subject to Topuria’s verbal jabs, sparking a sharp response from the boxing star.

Bisping believes that while it may seem unlikely, a fight between Topuria and Crawford is not entirely far-fetched. He points to Dana White’s involvement in the recent Canelo vs. Crawford event as a sign that new ground is being broken in the world of combat sports. Bisping suggests that if the right parties are involved, a fight between Topuria and Crawford could be a lucrative and intriguing matchup, potentially drawing in both boxing and MMA fans.

Additionally, boxing star Shakur Stevenson has weighed in on the possibility of Crawford facing Topuria in an MMA fight, suggesting that Crawford’s wrestling background could serve him well in the octagon. Stevenson believes that Crawford’s skills could translate to MMA, potentially even leading to a submission victory over Topuria.

The idea of a crossover fight between Topuria and Crawford has sparked interest and debate in the combat sports community. While it remains to be seen whether such a fight will materialize, Bisping’s comments highlight the potential for innovative and exciting matchups between athletes from different disciplines. As the world of combat sports continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see whether Topuria and Crawford will eventually face off in the ring or octagon.
