Terence Crawford, the 38-year-old boxing sensation, has announced his retirement from the sport, leaving behind an undefeated record of 42-0. The American boxer, known for his impressive skills and dominance in the ring, made the announcement in a heartfelt video posted on his YouTube channel and social media platforms.
Crawford’s decision to retire comes just months after his monumental victory over Canelo Alvarez, where he became the first male boxer in the modern era to hold undisputed titles in three weight divisions. The win solidified his position as one of the greatest boxers of all time, with many considering him among the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
In his retirement message, Crawford expressed gratitude towards his opponents, fans, and team, saying, “I gave this sport every breath I had. Every scar, every triumph, every ounce of my heart.” He emphasized that he’s walking away on his own terms, with nothing left to prove.
Crawford’s impressive career spans 17 years, during which he won 18 major world championships across five weight classes. He’s known for his remarkable wins over elite opponents, including Errol Spence Jr., Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, and Amir Khan. The boxing world will surely miss Crawford’s electrifying performances, but his legacy will live on as one of the greatest boxers in history.
