Jeff Horn and his team have seemed to get under former 2-weight world champion, Terence Crawford’s skin ahead of their highly anticipated clash where the WBO world welterweight title will be on the line.
On Wednesday it was revealed that the fight would be getting pushed back after news of a minor injury suffered by Crawford. Crawford and his team claimed that they would need an additional 2 weeks to return to fighting shape.

Jeff Horn and Terence Crawford had been originally scheduled to fight on April 14th. However, the fight on that date fell through after Crawford suffered an injury to his hand.
Since news of that injury has become widespread, numerous members of the Australian’s camp including Jeff himself have taken the opportunity to fire shots at Crawford and have even gone as far to question ‘Bud’s toughness.
Horn’s team are believed to be insinuating that Crawford’s injury should be a non-issue.
Crawford took particular offence by being referred to as ‘princess’.

The Australian slugger’s trainer Glenn Rushton told Crawford to “toughen up, princess” after the news broke about Crawford’s hand injury.
Horn’s promoter, Duco Events boss Dean Lonergan even went a step further and brandished the unbeaten Crawford ‘a soft c**k’.
Horn himself, further incensed Crawford after saying ” it just means that Terence is not as tough as we thought.”
The usually very reserved and composed Terence Crawford took to social media to lash out and share a warning message.
Now all of the sudden 140 is this stacked division when I leave. 🤔🤣

It’s plain to see, Crawford hasn’t taken too kindly to these comments and warned Horn impending doom awaits him when they come face to face on fight night.
“I’m [going to] show you a little princess come fight night. You just keep training and keeping my belt warm, because I’m f***ing you up come fight night. You, me and everyone know it,” Crawford said on social media
