'I would honour that!' - Crawford drops Canelo rematch bombshell revelation
Terence Crawford has revealed there was no rematch clause in his contract to face Canelo Alvarez when the pair faced off.
But 'Bud' insists he would have honoured any deal had the Mexican pushed for it in the wake of his third professional loss.
Crawford scored one of his greatest wins by dethroning the undisputed super-middleweight champion in Las Vegas last year.
Subsequently, the Nebraska native announced his retirement from the sport, scotching hopes for a second clash with Canelo.

The Mexican, who will bid to regather part of his crown against Christian M'billi later this year, has aired hopes for a rematch.
But speaking to The Breakfast Club, Crawford has revealed that there was no infrastructure in their agreement to lock it in.
"The Canelo rematch was off the table," he said. "There was no rematch close. Nobody said anything about [Canelo] again.
"To this day, nobody has said anything. If there was a rematch clause in the contract, then I would honour that. [It is] who I am."
Could Crawford-Canelo II still come to pass?
DAZN News correspondent Andrew Steel
You're never really out, even when you say you are. Terence Crawford would not be the first fighter to reverse his retirement.
But at the same time, what is there left for 'Bud' to prove? The American seems uninterested in the likes of David Benavidez.
From several standpoints, a rematch with Canelo might be the only thing that could tempt him to lace up the gloves once more.
But Crawford's comments about a lack of a rematch clause - unusual in this day and age - speaks to its own glossy reputation.
He has been there, seen it, done it and got the t-shirt. What does he have to gain by returning to risk a perfect professional record?
