A family grudge match with Conor Benn - who he was due to fight in October 2022 - appeared to be back in the pipeline for the 34-year-old but has yet to come to fruition.
Sensational reports on Friday claimed a stunning slugfest with pound-for-pound king Crawford was in the works for the Brighton bruiser.
And he's seemingly confirmed the fight is a go on his social media accounts - sharing a mock-up poster for the bout.

"Just can't see anyone beating Crawford, TBH, but be safe in there."
It didn't take long for the news to come to the attention of Eubank Jr's rival Benn - the son of his old man's bitter rival Nigel.
And Conor didn't mince his words when giving his thoughts on the bout.
He said: "Crawford will donate Bo-mac to Eubank [Jr] for this fight as he don’t need a cornerman for this."

Bomac is the long-time trainer of former undisputed 147lb king Crawford but also trains Eubank Jr - the son of British boxing great Chris Eubank.
But given his lengthy relationship with Crawford, it's nearly a dead cert that Bomac - real name Brian McIntyre - will be in the American's corner come fight night.
