Angel Reese Causes Panic for Terence Crawford Fans Hours Before Canelo Alvarez Fight

Angel Reese‘s recent visit to Terence Crawford‘s locker room wasn’t random; it fit her brazen, headline-grabbing style. Following a tumultuous second season with the Chicago Sky, she has embraced a fearless offseason. From being serenaded by Usher to taking the spotlight at NFL games, she knows how to draw attention—and backing Crawford on boxing’s biggest night only amplified it.

When footage surfaced of Reese walking into Crawford’s locker room ahead of his fight with Canelo Alvarez, fans immediately reacted with really visible panic. Not everyone was delighted with Angel Reese’s presence. A section of fans was worried that her arrival might distract Crawford at the worst possible time.

A fan wrote, “BUD WTF. Her team only won 11 games this year. Get her out the locker room ASAP.” Another commented, “They tryna distract my boy from the task at hand,” while others were even harsher: “This man ain’t focused,” “Not before the fight, man, ffs,” and “Yeah, distract his dumb a– 😂😂😂😂😂😂.”

On the flip side, many fans embraced the drama as motivation. They saw Angel Reese’s arrival as an unexpected blessing that would push Trence Crawford to perform at his peak. “Crawford got extra motivation tonight; let’s go!” one fan tweeted.

Another simply stated, “Now he gotta win this one,” while a third emphasized the fighter’s chances: “Man’s gonna lay his life for this one.” For these fans, Reese’s gorgeous appearance was not a distraction but rather an added advantage in Crawford’s favor. Angel Reese, no stranger to scandal or the spotlight, made her rounds in typical fashion.

Her WNBA season with the Chicago Sky ended abruptly due to injuries and internal team conflict, but she has not let it deter her. Now, in “Offseason Barbie” mode, she’s going with friends to some of the year’s greatest athletic events. Reese’s high-profile lifestyle often keeps her in the spotlight, and this recent stop at Terence Crawford’s side was no exception.

Her decision to support Terence Crawford over the widely favored Canelo Alvarez fueled the buzz. ‘Bud,’ who is already under pressure as he goes up two weight classes to try to make history, now faces not just a massive challenge but also a social media spotlight amplified by Reese’s star power. Fans are divided on whether this benefits or hurts him—but one thing is certain: no one is ignoring it. And how would they, as this fight has become the hub for all celebrities to mark their off-screen appearances.
