‘Nothing left to prove’- Undefeated boxer, Terence Crawford announces retirement from boxing at 38 with perfect 42-0 record

American boxer Terence Crawford has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 38, leaving the sport with an unbeaten record and as the only fighter in the four-belt era to be undisputed champion at three weights. The five-weight world champion hangs up his gloves from the sport with a perfect 42-0 record. The move comes three months after the American took the undisputed super-middleweight titles from Canelo Alvarez with a masterclass at Las Vegass Allegiant Stadium, a result that sealed Crawfords historic three-division conquest. Walking away as a great with nothing else left to prove, Crawford wrote on social media on Tuesday, while sharing a video recapping his astonishing career a career that will see him go down as a modern great. Every fighter knows this moment would come, added Crawford in the video. You just never know when. Im stepping away from competition, not because Im done fighting, but because Ive won a different type of battle. The one where you walk away on your own terms. This sport gave me everything. I fought for my family. I fought for the city. I fought for the kid I used to be, the one who had nothing but a dream and a pair of gloves, and I did it all my way. Ive made peace with whats next. Its time. Crawford also holds notable wins against Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, and Kell Brook, having stopped all three.His announcement comes after he was stripped of the WBC super middleweight title earlier this month over a failure to pay a required sanctioning fee.The post Nothing left to prove- Undefeated boxer, Terence Crawford announces retirement from boxing at 38 with perfect 42-0 record appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
