UFC Champ Ilia Topuria foresees a knockout victory in his boxing match against Terence Crawford

In the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), Ilia Topuria continues to make waves. The Georgian fighter recently claimed his second UFC title after a spectacular knockout of Charles Oliveira in June. Following his victory, Topuria expressed his interest in a potential crossover fight, with Paddy Pimblett and Conor Benn both showing interest in facing the undefeated champion.

Topuria has been vocal about his desire to step into the boxing ring, consistently calling out Terence Crawford for a potential match. The featherweight champion has shown confidence in his ability, stating that he could knockout Crawford and even put him to sleep in the first contact.

However, Crawford is set to face Canelo Alvarez on September 13, a highly anticipated bout expected to be the biggest commercial fight of the year. It is not specified who will be Topuria's next opponent, but he has expressed interest in fighting the winner of the super-fight for his boxing debut.

Pimblett, too, has shown interest in a potential fight with Topuria. The British fighter expressed his confidence, stating that he would finish Topuria in their potential match. However, Topuria seems unfazed, expressing his belief that he would have the advantage in a boxing ring. He also stated that Pimblett would not be able to knock him out.

Meanwhile, Conor Benn, who is gearing up for his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr., has also shown interest in a crossover fight with Topuria. Benn even took to social media, welcoming any UFC fighters who want to challenge him in boxing.

As for Crawford, there are rumours that he may retire after his fight with Canelo Alvarez. If Topuria and Crawford were to meet in the boxing ring, it would undoubtedly be a spectacle to behold.

Topuria's MMA record now stands at 17-0 following his victory over Oliveira. With several options for his next opponent, whoever he faces will be a significant name. The next few months promise to be exciting for Topuria fans, as discussions about his next move continue to unfold.
