Terence Crawford accuses the WBC of punishing Shakur Stevenson over their separate feud.
On Wednesday, Crawford told Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show" that he believes the WBC's decision to strip Stevenson of his title was a direct result of his own issue with the sanctioning body.

What happened?

The WBC stripped both Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson of their titles following their respective career-defining victories.
Crawford was stripped almost three months after defeating Saul "Canelo" Alvarez because he allegedly did not pay the WBC sanctioning fee.

Why it matters for Terence Crawford

Crawford claimed that WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán has since apologized to him in person over their public dispute last year.
However, the sanctioning body has not attempted to rectify how it handled the situation.

What comes next?

The WBC asked Crawford for a $300,000 sanctioning fee for his fight with Alvarez, which was 0.6% of his reported $50 million purse.
Crawford responded with an expletive-laden nine-minute rant, saying he'd reached agreements with boxing's other three major sanctioning bodies.

Crawford believes the WBC targeted Stevenson because of his issue with them.
And that wasn't right at all, for them to put his name in the conversation that he didn't have nothing to do with anything that Shakur had going on.

The WBC title was not even on the line for Stevenson vs. Lopez in January, yet the WBC still asked for a $100,000 sanctioning fee.
So you blame me and try to punish him? It wasn't right at all.

Crawford saw Mauricio Sulaimán not too long ago, and he apologized to him, and he told him that he shouldn't have said the things that he said.
But Crawford felt some type of way, because in his mind, they're face-to-face and Sulaimán is apologizing to him.

Crawford is cool with talking to Sulaimán as men, but he didn't like the fact that instead of them coming back and renegotiating, they were just basically like, 'No, we're the WBC, we ain't taking that.'
Crawford was just like, 'Oh, really? Y'all ain't getting nothing now because I didn't agree to nothing.'
