Crawford scored his last major victory against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in September.
Undefeated boxing world champion Terence Crawford has announced his retirement. The 38-year-old is ending his career just three months after his prestigious victory over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, which secured him the super middleweight world title.
Crawford (42 wins, 31 knockouts) announced his retirement in a video posted on social media. “I am retiring from competitive sport – not because I am done fighting, but because I have won a different kind of fight,” he said: “The fight where you retire on your own terms.”
Crawford won 18 world titles
The American is retiring as the reigning world champion of the WBA, IBF, and WBO. Crawford won a total of 18 world titles in five weight classes during his career, culminating in his victory over Alvarez. He remained undefeated in all 42 professional fights and never officially went down. All of his victories were achieved by unanimous decision or surrender, with no judge ever scoring in favor of an opponent during his career.
