Terence Crawford, an undefeated five-division world champion (42-0, 31 KOs), has openly explained the emotions behind his decision to retire from professional boxing. The legendary American boxer addressed his fans with heartfelt words on his social media page.
Crawford emphasized that every fighter eventually senses when their moment to step away has arrived, though nobody knows exactly when it will come. According to him, throughout his entire life, he had been searching for something—but it was not championship belts, massive paychecks, or fame.
“True fulfillment was elsewhere,” wrote Crawford. “The feeling of proving the world wrong when no one believed in you and doubted you—that is the ultimate victory.” He added that he entered the ring not only for himself but also for his family, his hometown, and all the young dreamers who had nothing but a pair of gloves to their name.
His words convey sincerity and gratitude. Crawford elaborated that he gave his all to boxing—every breath, every painful workout, every injury, every victory, and every emotion from the depths of his soul. He credited the sport for shaping him not only as a champion but also as a person with strong character.
It is worth noting that Terence Crawford concluded his career in remarkable fashion. He defeated Saul “Canelo” Alvarez to claim the undisputed super middleweight world champion title, leaving the ring with one final, fitting triumph. This victory marked a well-deserved conclusion to his illustrious career.
For boxing fans, Crawford will be remembered not only for his achievements but also as a symbol of spirit, resilience, and self-belief.
