Crawford, 36, won the fight for the first time since beating Spence last summer, according to the judges.
However, he was in no mood to speculate on a rematch with Spence in the post-fight press conference.
A reporter asked him if there was a possibility of a rematch.
To this he replied clearly: “No.”
After his answer he stood up and walked out, as the press conference ended immediately.
Fans on social media reacted to the moment.
One commented: “What’s the point of asking?”

Another said: “Crawford didn’t have time for this.”
After the bout, Crawford admitted that the fight with Madrimov was “tough”.
He said: “I knew he would be tough.
“As I said, I knew everything about him when I went to Uzbekistan and people there told me a lot about him.
“He’s very strong, he’s durable, he landed a lot of good shots and he took me to the 12th round.”
