Terence Crawford Says He’s Retiring From Boxing Soon
Terence Crawford Reveals He Will Be Retiring From Boxing Soon
Terence Crawford made history in emphatic fashion on Saturday night with a dominant TKO victory over Errol Spence to become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world.
With the victory, Crawford unified the WBA, WBC and IBF titles with his WBO title, and established himself as the current welterweight king.
“It means everything because of who I took the belts from,” Crawford said. “They talked bad about me. They said I wasn’t good enough and I couldn’t beat these welterweights. I just kept my head to the sky and kept praying to God that I would get the opportunity to show the world how great Terence Crawford is. Tonight, I believe I showed how great I am.”

The welterweight champion also revealed that he will be retiring soon. “I’m about to be 36 so I don’t see myself continuing to box very much longer. l’ve been doing it for a long time. I always said I’m gonna retire from boxing before I let boxing retire me.”
He made history in the process by becoming the first undisputed welterweight champion of the four-belt era. Not only that, but Crawford is also the first male fighter in the era to fully unify multiple divisions after previously holding all four belts at junior welterweight.
The first fighter to pull off that feat was Claressa Shields in 2021, when she became the undisputed champion of the women’s junior middleweight division to go along with her four belts at middleweight.
Crawford scored three knockdowns — one in the second round and two in the seventh — before the fight was stopped by the referee in the closing stages of the ninth.
