While Terence Crawford does not really have a substantial opponent to look forward to for a fight, he has decided to keep active regardless with the NFL star, Desmond Bryant. Though he was up for a rematch with Errol Spence Jr after their one-sided bout last year, in a cryptic X message, he expressed a certain disinterest in ever facing Spence again. Canelo Álvarez, meanwhile, is another opponent that he wants to go up against. In the meantime, Dez Bryant is giving the Omaha native some much-needed competition.
In a video that Bryant posted on his X account, the two could be seen engaging in a fun game. Can the former Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver give the No.1 pound-for-pound boxer a juke? Well, that is exactly what he did.
Dez Bryant secures a win against the undefeated Terence Crawford
Bryant, who hasn’t officially retired from sports but took a hiatus due to a torn Achilles tendon in November 2018 that ended his season, engaged in a friendly 1v1 with Crawford in the video. Despite Crawford’s background in boxing, Bryant demonstrated superior skills, utilizing a ‘goosestep’ to maneuver past Crawford easily. “I went 1 on 1 with the champ! Had to show em it’s real @terencecrawford Made me wanted to get back out there!” Bryant captioned the clip.
Crawford then replied to the post, humorously suggesting that Bryant might still harbor feelings about the Cowboys vs. Packers game result. The Green Bay Packers played against Bryant’s former team Dallas Cowboys on January 15, 2024, at AT&T Stadium.
