Terence Crawford Announces Retirement After Undefeated Boxing Career
Terence Crawford announced his retirement from professional boxing on December 16, 2025, stepping away from competition on his own terms while leaving the door open for a possible future return. He retires undefeated with a record of 42 professional fights, including 31 knockouts.
In September 2025, Crawford defeated Canelo Álvarez to become the undisputed super-middleweight champion. Throughout his career, he won world titles across five divisions, including becoming undisputed champion at 140 pounds and later at 168 pounds. Notably, he defeated Errol Spence Jr. in 2023 to claim welterweight belts.
Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, Crawford survived a 2008 gunshot incident during a dice game yet continued his training unabated. Renowned as boxing’s most reliable problem-solver, his style dismantled opponents so effectively that no judge has ever ruled against him in his career.
