Terence Crawford has entered the final chapter in what has been a sensational career.
The 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska is a two-weight undisputed champion, winning all four of the coveted world titles at both super lightweight and welterweight. ‘Bud’ is also a four-weight world champion, making him one of the most decorated fighters in the sport.
Crawford’s most recent success came last August, when he defeated Israil Madrimov to capture the WBA title at 154lbs. The American superstar has now set his sights on getting the biggest fights possible before he finally draws the curtain on his incredible career.
Speaking on the Earn Your Leisure Podcast, Crawford openly backed himself against any possible future opponent, claiming the only person that can defeat him is himself.
“My mindset is always, win at all costs. Make sure I’m coming in at 110% shape and prepared for whatever the opponent brings to the table. Make sure that I’m at the best of my abilities going into a fight so I don’t have to worry about anybody else.
A lot of people ask me ‘what have you got to do to win a fight’, and I always say, ‘just be myself’. I always say that because I obviously feel that I’m Terence Crawford and can’t nobody beat me unless I beat myself.”
The 37-year-old is rumoured to be negotiating a fight with fellow pound-for-pound star Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, as Riyadh Season’s Turki Alalshikh works tirelessly behind the scenes to get a fight between the pair made at some stage in 2025.
