Representing United States

In August 2017, Crawford had a


short reign as the undisputed light
welterweight champion, prior to
moving up to welterweight. He
was the most recent undisputed
titlist at light welterweight since
Kostya Tszyu in 2004. Crawford
also became the first male boxer
to simultaneously hold all four
major world titles in boxing (WBA,
WBC, IBF and WBO) since
Jermain Taylor in 2005, and is one
of only four male boxers in history
to do so.

As of February 2021, Crawford is


ranked as the world's best active
boxer, pound for pound, by
ESPN,[2] second by TBRB[3] and
Boxing Writers Association of
America,[4] and third by The Ring
magazine[5] and BoxRec.[6] He is
also ranked as the world's best
active welterweight by ESPN[7]
and BoxRec,[8] and second by The
Ring[9] and TBRB.[10] Crawford
was named Fighter of the Year by
the Boxing Writers Association of
America in 2014, and by ESPN in
2014 and 2017.

Stylistically, Crawford is known for


his exceptionally fast hand speed,
ring IQ, punching power, counter-
punching abilities and defensive
skills, as well as his ability to
comfortably switch hit from
orthodox to southpaw.

Amateur career
Crawford took up boxing at the
age of seven. He fought 70 official
amateur bouts, losing only 12
times. As an amateur, he defeated
future world champions Mikey
Garcia and Danny García. After
winning three amateur
tournaments shortly before the
2008 Olympics, he became the
highest-ranked lightweight in the
US. However, his loss to leading
contender Sadam Ali thwarted his
Olympic ambitions.[11]

Professional career

Lightweight ...

Early career ...

Crawford made his professional


debut on March 14, 2008,
knocking out Brian Cummings in
round one. He compiled a record
of 19–0 with 15 wins by way of
knockout (KO) against largely
unheralded opposition.

Crawford had his first notable bout


on the undercard of the second
fight between Brandon Rios and
Mike Alvarado, against former
WBO lightweight champion Breidis
Prescott. Prescott was originally
scheduled to face WBA light
welterweight champion Khabib
Allakhverdiev, who withdrew with
an injured elbow. Crawford was
originally supposed to meet Robert
Osiobe on the same card, but
accepted the offer to fill in for
Allakhverdiev on three-days
notice. Crawford nevertheless
outboxed the hard hitting
Colombian and secured a
unanimous decision (UD)
victory.[13][14] Crawford received a
purse of $125,000, whilst Prescott
received $50,000. This was the
first time Crawford fought a ten-
round fight and his first time
fighting at the 140 lb. limit.[15]

Crawford fought Alejandro


Sanabria on June 15, 2013. Held at
the American Airlines Center in
Dallas, Texas, the fight served as
an eliminator for the WBO
lightweight title and was also for
the vacant WBO-NABO lightweight
title.[16] In the sixth round,
Crawford landed a left hook,
sending Sanabria to the canvas.
Though Sanabria was able to
return to his feet within the count,
the fight was waved off by referee
Laurence Cole, giving Crawford a
technical knockout (TKO)
victory.[17][18]

Crawford vs. Klimov ...


On August 21, 2013 it was
announced that Crawford would
fight undefeated Russian boxer
and WBO #12 ranked Andrey
Klimov in another elimination bout,
which would see the winner
challenge WBO champion Ricky
Burns. The fight was scheduled for
ten rounds and took place on the
undercard of Miguel Cotto vs.
Delvin Rodriguez on HBO at the
Amway Center in Orlando, Florida
on October 5. Klimov was coming
off a majority decision (MD) win
over fringe contender John Molina
Jr. in June 2013.[19][20] Crawford
outclassed and outpointed Klimov,
handing him his first defeat as a
professional in a UD win. After ten
rounds, all three judges scored the
fight 100–90 in Crawford's favour.
There was lack of action as Klimov
failed to impress and go in for any
offence. According to CompuBox
stats, Crawford landed 192 of 604
punches (32%), whilst Klimov
landed just 57 of 290 (20%). In the
post-fight interview, Crawford
spoke on how he went in and got
the job done, "I outboxed him. It
was easy all night long. I thought I
was hurting him all night long. I
was never in any trouble and I
thought he was in trouble." Due to
Klimov's lack of action, it prompted
a member of his team to call him a
'coward' after round eight in the
corner. Klimov began to come
forward and exchange more after
round nine, but had no chance of
winning without a KO.[21][22]

Crawford vs. Burns ...

Crawford traveled to Scotland five


months later to take on 30 year old
Ricky Burns for the WBO
lightweight title on March 1, 2014.
Burns' promoter, Eddie Hearn, said
he was pleased to bring the fight
to Scotland, and admitted it was
Burns' toughest fight to date.[23]
Crawford easily won the fight,
boxing well on the outside and
picking his shots against Burns,
winning his first world title. The
judges scored the fight 117–111,
and 116–112 twice in favour of
Crawford. Burns praised Crawford
after the fight, simply stating, "The
better man won." Over the twelve
rounds, Crawford was credited to
landing 213 of 811 punches thrown
(26%) but landed 41% of his power
punches. Burns landed 76 of his
552 thrown (14%) and landed no
more than 7 power punches per
round.[24][25][26][27]

Crawford vs. Gamboa ...

Fighting for the first time as a


professional in his hometown of
Omaha, Nebraska, Crawford
made his first title defense against
2004 Cuban Olympic gold
medalist and former unified
featherweight titleholder Yuriorkis
Gamboa, who was a slight
favourite going into the fight. This
was only the second title fight ever
held in Omaha, the first being in
1972, when heavyweight
champion Joe Frazier defeated
the Omaha/Council Bluffs product
Ron Stander by fourth-round TKO.
Gamboa entered having not
fought in over a year. He was
arrested in November for two
misdemeanor battery charges for
domestic violence and also during
that span was implicated in the
Biogenesis performance-
enhancing drug scandal that
mainly engulfed Major League
Baseball.[28] The fight was
announced on May 6 and took
place at the CenturyLink Center on
June 28, 2014.[29] Crawford
weighed in 134.8 pounds, slightly
heavier than Gamboa at 134.4
pounds.[30]

Gamboa won the early rounds


using his speed advantage, but
Crawford eventually adjusted,
knocking Gamboa down once in
the fifth round, again in the eighth,
and finally twice in the ninth to
secure a TKO win in front of
10,943 hometown fans.[31]
Crawford stated after the fight "I
was warming up, getting used to
his style in the first couple of
rounds. I just wanted to test him
out, I felt like I could make an
adjustment with my jab, because
he's always dropping his left hand.
I thought I could get him with my
jab in the southpaw stance." At the
time of stoppage, Crawford was
ahead 78–72, 78–72, 77–73 on
the judges' scorecards.[32][33] In
an interview in July 2016, Crawford
stated that Gamboa was still his
toughest fight to date.[34]

Crawford vs. Beltrán ...


Held in front of 11,127 at The
CenturyLink Center in Omaha,
Nebraska, Crawford made his
second defense of the WBO title
against The Ring magazine #1
contender Ray Beltrán on
November 29, 2014. The winner of
the bout would become The Ring's
lightweight champion.[35][36]
Crawford retained his world title
earning a twelve-round UD win.
The final judges' scorecards read
120–108, and 119–109 twice in
favour of Crawford. After the fight,
Crawford announced his intentions
to leave the lightweight division to
fight as a light welterweight.[37][38]
The fight averaged 836,000
viewers on HBO and peaked at
936,000 viewers. It was
considered a disappointment
because the co-feature which saw
Evgeny Gradovich draw with
Jayson Velez drew an average
865,000 viewers and peaked just
over 1 million.[39]

Crawford was named the 2014


'Fighter of the Year' by ESPN and
the Boxing Writers Association of
America, after dethroning Burns
and becoming lineal lightweight
champion.

Light welterweight ...

Crawford vs. Dulorme ...

On March 6, 2015 ESPN reported


that Crawford would debut as a
light welterweight, challenging for
the vacant WBO title at the College
Park Center in Arlington, Texas
against 25 year old Thomas
Dulorme on April 18. At the press
conference, Crawford told
Dulorme, "Come prepared
because I am going to be ready.
[The fans] should expect a
spectacular victory. This is my
second world title at a different
weight, and I am really going to be
up for it. I will be prepared. I am
always ready and prepared for any
fight."[40] The fight was stopped
after Dulorme was knocked down
three times in the sixth round,
granting Crawford a TKO victory
and the WBO title. Dulorme started
off aggressive, but was unable to
land much. Crawford remained
defensive, picking his shots and
working the distance. Referee
Rafael Ramos stopped the fight at
1 minute, 51 seconds of the
round.[41][42] The fight averaged
1.004 million viewers on HBO.[43]

Crawford vs. Jean, Lundy ...

Top Rank announced on August


20 that Crawford would make his
first defence at the CenturyLink
Center in Nebraska, Omaha, on
October 24 against Montreal
based 33 year old contender
Dierry Jean. Jean's only loss as
professional came in 2014 against
light welterweight titlist Lamont
Peterson, in Peterson's hometown
of Washington, D.C.. After the sole
loss, Jean dropped down to
lightweight where he won four
fights in a row.[44] With a dominant
performance that mixed
superlative boxing skills with
crunching power, Crawford
knocked out Jean in the 10th
round to retain the WBO light
welterweight title in front of 11,020
hometown fans. Crawford landed
169 total punches out of 533
thrown, and an impressive 40% of
his power shots. Over the last
three rounds, Crawford out-landed
Jean 59 to 9. After the fight,
Crawford stated that he was ready
for former eight-division world
champion Manny Pacquiao, "I'm
ready. Bob [Arum], make it
happen. I'm ready. I'm gonna let
my handlers, (co-managers)
Cameron Dunkin and Brian
McIntyre, talk to Bob Arum and
Team Pacquiao, and let's see if we
can make it happen."[45][46][47]
Crawford was ahead on all three
judges' scorecards at the time of
stoppage (89–80, 90–79 twice).
The fight was a success on HBO,
drawing an average of 1.071
million viewers and peaked at 1.2
million.[43]

His next fight took place before a


sellout crowd of 5,092 at the
Theater of Madison Square
Garden on February 27, 2016
against Hank Lundy.[48] Crawford
successfully defended his light
welterweight title with a fifth-round
TKO of Lundy. Crawford
connected with 89 of 247 punches
(36%), compared to 47 of 411 for
Lundy (22%). Lundy won a fast-
paced first round. Crawford then
overwhelmed him with head and
body punches which found the
mark by volume and accuracy.
Lundy went down in a corner in the
fifth round. He beat the count, but
the bout was soon stopped by
referee Steve Willis at 2 minutes, 9
seconds. Crawford spoke out
about his feud with Lundy on
social media, "He and I had gone
back and forth on Twitter for like a
year. I just wanted to shut him up
for good." Crawford earned $1.21
million and Lundy earned a
$150,000 purse. Although there
was a lot of tension pre-fight,
Lundy approached Crawford after
the fight and showed
respect.[49][50][51] The fight
averaged 982,000 viewers on
HBO and peaked just over 1 million
viewers.[52]

Crawford vs. Postol ...

On May 3, 2016 it was finally


confirmed that Crawford and WBC
champion Viktor Postol had
officially signed a contract for the
highly anticipated light
welterweight unification fight on
July 23 at the MGM Grand in Las
Vegas. Both fighters entered the
ring with a matched record of 28
wins, no losses. Both men also
entered the MGM Grand Garden
Arena for the first time in their
respective careers.[53] Crawford
won by UD and unified two light
welterweight world titles before a
crowd of 7,027. Crawford also
claimed the vacant Ring magazine
and lineal titles.[54] Crawford
scored two flash knockdowns in
the fifth round, with all three
scorecards reading 118–107 twice,
and 117–108. Postol resorted to
rabbit punching in the eleventh
round. He hit Crawford with a right
hand behind the head, for which
Postol was penalized one point,
adding to Crawford's advantage.
With the victory, Crawford staked
his indisputable claim to division
supremacy and set himself up for
bigger fights, possibly against a
returning Manny Pacquiao. Over
twelve rounds, Crawford landed
141 of his 388 punches thrown
(36%), and Postol landed 83 of
244 thrown (34%).[55][56]

In the post-fight interview, Postol


praised Crawford, saying "I
thought it was a good fight
between two technicians, but he
was quicker than me. He is one of
the best fighters in the world. I just
didn't have the answers for him."
Crawford also praised his trainer
Brian McIntyre, "Freddie Roach
and Postol said that Freddie would
outcoach my coach, but you tell
'em who got outcoached tonight."
McIntyre revealed the plan was to
keep Postol moving, which would
have eliminated his jab and right
hand. Crawford's purse for the
fight was $1.3 million. Postol
earned $675,000 for his part.[57]
Some sources stated the fight
generated 50,000 PPV buys on
HBO. A replay was shown later in
the week and drew 378,000, also
considered a weak number.[58]

Crawford vs. Molina ...

Crawford was not due to fight next


until 2017, however due to the
Golovkin-Jacobs fight being
postponed to early 2017, this freed
up the December 10 date for HBO.
Arum confirmed Crawford would
take the date and look at potential
opponents, including the then IBF
champion Eduard Troyanovsky
and Antonio Orozco.[59] Arum
announced a deal was in place for
a fight between Crawford and 33
year old contender John Molina Jr.
on December 10, 2016 at
Crawford's hometown at
CenturyLink Center in Omaha,
Nebraska. Molina previously
defeated Russian contender
Ruslan Provodnikov in a twelve-
round UD in June 2016, where he
claimed the vacant WBO
International light welterweight
title.[60][61] Molina weighed 144lb
at the official weigh-in which
meant he lost the right to fight for
Crawford's world titles. Had
Crawford lost the fight, he would
have lost his belts. For the fight to
go ahead, Molina gave $400,000
of his purse to Crawford, adding to
his already agreed purse of
$1.5m.[62]

Crawford held onto his titles by


stopping Molina in the eighth
round in front of a large home
crowd in Omaha. Crawford moved
around the ring for most of the
fight, jabbing, holding and pot
shotting an out of shape Molina. In
round eight, Crawford threw a
flurry of shots that hurt Molina.
Crawford then hit Molina with three
right hands to the head and a right
to the body, at which point referee
Mark Nelson halted the fight. In the
post-fight interview, Crawford felt
he should be the 2016 'Fighter of
the Year' for his wins over Molina,
Lundy and Postol, "I feel like I got
it. I just have to wait until the results
come in." Crawford also reiterated
his desire to unify the division
before a possible move up to
welterweight. Crawford landed 184
punches from 419 thrown, Molina
landed 41 of 287 thrown, a 14%
connect rate.[63][64] The fight drew
an average 806,000 viewers and
peaked at 871,000 viewers on
HBO.[65]

Crawford vs. Diaz ...

Bob Arum spoke to ESPN in early


February 2017 about Crawford's
next defence and possible
opponents. He said that HBO had
set a May 20 date for the fight and
the venue would most likely be in
Crawford's hometown, Omaha.
Mexican boxer Antonio Orozco,
one of Crawford's mandatory
challengers and Olympic gold
medalist Felix Diaz, who had been
calling out Crawford, were the
names mentioned. He went on to
explain how Orozco's promoters
seemed to have little interest in the
fight. Lou DiBella, promoter of
Diaz, was eager to make a fight
happen.[66] Arum spoke to The
Ring on March 1 saying that
Crawford's opponent had been
narrowed down to Diaz or Adrian
Granados. Amir Imam, ranked
number 1 by the WBC was also in
the mix, but Arum said that he
found it difficult to make a deal
with his promoter, Don King.[67]
Terms were finally agreed on
March 22 for Crawford vs. Diaz at
the Prudential Center in Newark,
New Jersey on May 20. Contracts
were to be signed shortly
after.[68][69] A week after the fight
was announced, the location was
changed. The new venue was
confirmed to be Madison Square
Garden in New York. This was the
first time Crawford fought at the
arena.[70]

In front of a crowd of 8,026,


Crawford retained his world titles
after a dominating performance,
which forced Diaz' trainer, Joel
Díaz to stop the fight after round
ten. Towards the end, Diaz did
close to nothing, leaning against
the ropes. This was mostly due to
his vision, as his right eye was
nearly closed and his left eye was
also badly swollen. Crawford used
his jab for most of the fight, and
used it to control the pace and
help him move around the ring in
his southpaw stance. Joel Diaz
said in the post-fight interview that
he had pulled his fighter out
because he was taking too much
punishment. Also in the post-fight
interview, Crawford said, "It's not
up to me. But everybody wants to
know who's the next guy that
Terence Crawford wants to fight.
I'll fight anybody. It doesn't matter
who it is." He then called out Keith
Thurman. Promoter Bob Arum
mentioned Crawford would likely
fight again in the summer, against
Julius Indongo, where the winner
would be crowned the undisputed
light welterweight champion.[71][72]

According to CompuBox punch


stats, Crawford landed 193 of his
520 punches thrown (37.1%). In
that figure, he landed 59.1% of his
power punches (139 of 235
thrown). Diaz landed 69 of 346
(19.9%). At the time of stoppage,
judges Glenn Feldman and Steve
Weisfeld scored the bout 100–90
and judge Julie Lederman scores it
99–91, all in favour of
Crawford.[73] According to
Nielsen, the fight averaged
961,000 viewers on HBO's World
Championship Boxing and peaked
at 1.036m viewers. It was the most
viewed fight on HBO so far in
2017.[74]
Crawford vs. Indongo ...

On July 1, 2017 Top Rank


announced that a light
welterweight unification fight
between Crawford, and WBA
(Unified) and IBF champion Julius
Indongo was agreed upon to take
place on August 19 at the Pinnacle
Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska
live on ESPN in the U.S. and Sky
Sports in the U.K.[75][76][77] The
projected unification of every
major world title in boxing (WBA,
WBC, IBF, WBO) will determine the
light welterweight division's first
undisputed champion since Kostya
Tszyu in 2004, and the first time all
the aforementioned titles have
been at stake in a single fight since
Bernard Hopkins vs. Jermain
Taylor in 2005. Both fighters paid
over $100,000 U.S. dollars in
sanctioning fees.[78] Crawford
entered the fight as a heavy
favourite to win.[79]

In front of a home crowd of 12,121,


Crawford became the undisputed
champion at light welterweight
after knocking out Indongo in
round three. The final punch was a
well placed left hook to the right
side of the body, which
immediately dropped Indongo.
Referee Jack Reiss counted to 10
and promptly called an end after 1
minute and 38 seconds. Indongo
also touched the canvas during
round one, but the referee ruled it
a slip. Additionally, Indongo was
knocked down and received a
count after a left hand from
Crawford during round two.[80]

According to CompuBox stats,


Crawford landed 26 of his 75
punches thrown (35%), while
Indongo landed 13 of 74 thrown
(18%). Both boxers earned an
undisclosed 7-figure purse.[81]
Following the fight, Indongo stated
"When he hit me like that, my mind
was gone" about Crawford's body
shot.[82] Crawford stated that he
had yet to make a decision on the
next step in his career but there
was speculation about him moving
up to the welterweight division[83]
or defending his light welterweight
titles against Mikey Garcia.[84] The
card averaged 965,000 viewers
on ESPN.[85]
Mere days after the fight, the IBF
ordered a fight between Crawford
and their mandatory challenger,
Sergey Lipinets.[86] Lipinets was
named Indongo's mandatory
challenger on December 2016, but
Indongo was given an exemption
to allow the unification fight with
Crawford to happen. Lipinets
stated that the IBF title was "stolen
from him".[87] As Crawford didn't
plan to return to the ring before the
IBF's deadline, he vacated the IBF
title just 11 days after defeating
Indongo.[88] The IBF ordered
Lipinets to face Akihiro Kondo for
their vacant title.[89]

On August 31, the WBA


Championships Committee
revealed that they had elevated
Crawford to 'Super' champion.
Article C18 of the WBA's rules
stated that as Crawford holds all
major titles at light welterweight,
he could be elevated and deemed
a 'Super' champion. The WBA,
however, claimed to hold on to
their policy of having only one
champion per weight category and
insisted an interim or regular title
would not be created.[90]

Welterweight ...

On October 26, 2017 Crawford


officially vacated his WBO title to
move up to the welterweight
division. The WBO announced
Crawford as the mandatory
challenger to their titleholder Jeff
Horn. With Horn scheduled to
make a voluntary defence in
December 2017 against British
boxer Gary Corcoran, Crawford
would not fight again in 2017. The
winner of Horn vs. Cocoran was
then ordered to schedule a fight
against Crawford within 90
days.[91][92] Arum stated he had
dates in March and April 2018 on
hold.[93]

Crawford vs. Horn ...

When Horn successfully made a


voluntary defence of his WBO
welterweight title by stopping
Corcoran, this set up the fight
between Crawford and Horn.[94]
Following his win, Horn was
challenged to a big money fight at
light middleweight by 42 year old
Anthony Mundine, before
eventually defending his WBO title
against Crawford.[95] Horn
admitted his interest in the fight
where he would be seeing a purse
of around $2 million with his
trainer, Glenn Rushton, also very
much interested in the Mundine
fight.[96] On January 10, 2018 it
was confirmed that all terms had
been agreed upon for Horn to
defend the WBO title in a
mandatory defence against
Crawford, after renegotiating the
purses. The fight was being slated
for April 21, 2018 at the T-Mobile
Arena in Paradise, Nevada.[97] On
January 17, Arum stated the fight
would likely take place at Madison
Square Garden as there was no
availability in Las Vegas for the
dates required.[98][99] In February,
Arum claimed that due to other
boxing events taking place around
New York in April, the Crawford vs.
Horn bout would take place in Las
Vegas instead.[100]

On March 14, it was reported that


the fight would be postponed after
Crawford suffered a hand injury
whilst sparring.[101][102] The fight
was rescheduled to take place on
June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden
Arena in Paradise, Nevada.[103] It
was reported on May 24 that Horn
had been involved in a car
accident, involving three cars in
Brisbane, however Horn himself
confirmed that he was not hurt and
did not suffer any injuries.
Speaking to a newspaper, he said,
"No one was badly hurt but it
stunned me. Fortunately I was in
the car alone and my wife Jo and
baby Isabelle were home. The
accident was a shock but nothing
is going to derail me from beating
Terence Crawford. I’m very fit. I
feel I’m going to peak right at fight
time."[104]

Crawford became a three-weight


world champion in front of 8,112
fans in attendance after he
eventually stopped Horn via TKO in
round nine. At the time of the
stoppage, all three judges had
Crawford winning all the previous
rounds. Horn lacked defense but
kept coming forward, trying to look
for an opening. Horn made the
opening two rounds the most
competitive with his aggressive
style but Crawford adapted and
remained the busier fighter
throughout, landing the most
telling shots of the bout. Horn was
eventually dropped for the first
time in round nine with an
overhand left. After he got back
up, Crawford landed a series of
hard shots that caused referee
Robert Byrd to stop the fight. The
official time of the stoppage was 2
minutes and 33 seconds.[105] After
the bout, Crawford spoke about
his welterweight debut, "Like I told
you all before, I'm strong. I was
way stronger than him. You all kept
telling me how strong he was, so I
had to go and show you. I just had
to get in the ring and prove it. You
saw what I did in there. My power
carried up, my physicality. Now I
want all the champions at
welterweight." Promoter Bob Arum
highly praised Crawford and
compared him to Sugar Ray
Leonard. According to CompuBox
stats, Crawford landed 155 of 367
of punches thrown (42%). This
included 47 power shots landed
over the final two rounds. Horn, on
the other hand, landed just 58 of
257 punches thrown
(23%).[106][107] Crawford earned a
career-high $3 million purse and
Horn also earned a career-high
purse of $1.75 million.[108]

Crawford vs. Benavidez ...

Crawford's first defense of the


WBO title was slated to take place
on October 13, 2018. Early reports
stated his likely opponent would be
former WBA interim light
welterweight champion José
Benavidez (27–0, 18 KOs).[109] On
September 6, despite having two
years left of his contract, Crawford
signed a new multi-year deal with
Top Rank.[110] On signing the
extension, Crawford said, "I am the
best fighter in the world, hands
down. ESPN is the biggest brand
in sports and Top Rank is the
biggest promotional company in
boxing. This was a no-brainer for
me and my team. All of the super
fights that the world wants to see
will happen. Like I've said before, I
want all of the champions in the
welterweight division." The fight
against Benavidez was also
announced by Top Rank to take
place at the CHI Health Center in
Omaha, Nebraska.[111][112]

In front of 13,323 in attendance,


the largest crowd he had drawn to
date, Crawford came on strong in
the final round to score a twelfth-
round KO win to retain his WBO
welterweight title. The fight was
halted at 2 minutes and 42
seconds. Crawford used an in and
out style of fighting to land his
shots, and then got away before
Benavidez could hit him. Towards
the end of round twelve, Crawford
knocked down Benavidez, who
fought with an injured knee, with a
left-right combination, the final
punch being a right uppercut. After
Benavidez got back to his feet,
Crawford landed a flurry of
punches until referee Celestino
Ruiz stepped in. Crawford landed
head and body combinations
earlier in the fight which forced
Benavidez to take a step back.[113]
Crawford credited the body shots,
saying, "That takes something out
of you every time. That's what
slowed him down. You could tell
every time he was shaking his
head. I knew it would take its toll in
the later rounds." At the time of
stoppage, Crawford was ahead
110–99, 108–101 and 107–102 on
all three judges' scorecards.
According to CompuBox,
Crawford landed 186 of 579
punches thrown (32%) and
Benavidez landed 92 of his 501
thrown (18%). Benavidez landed 8
punches per round. CompuBox
Historical showed that Crawford's
previous 10 opponents landed only
7 per round.[114] Crawford earned
$3.625 million, his career-highest,
compared to Benavidez's
$500,000 purse.[115] The near
two-hour telecast averaged
2,245,000 viewers on ESPN.[116]

Crawford vs. Khan ...

On November 16, two-time


Lithuanian Olympian Egidijus
Kavaliauskas knocked out Roberto
Arriaza in the third round of their
bout.[117] After the fight, Arum
hinted Kavaliauskas would likely
challenge Crawford for the WBO
welterweight title in early 2019.
Kavaliauskas stated he wanted to
fight the best in the division and
called out Crawford.[118] A week
later, it was reported 37 year old,
former world champion Luis
Collazo (38–7, 20 KOs) was in line
to challenge Crawford, in what
would be Crawford's first of three
bouts in 2019.[119] The fight would
main event a Top Rank card on
ESPN on March 23, 2019 at
Madison Square Garden in New
York.[120] Prior to pursuing the fight
with Collazo, Carl Moretti told
RingTv they offered Danny García
a guaranteed $3 million purse to
fight Crawford on the same date
on ESPN PPV, which would have
included a share of the revenue
generated. The offer was made to
Angel García, who told Moretti he
would discuss the offer with
Danny, but ultimately never replied
to Top Rank's offer. According to
Moretti, the offer was made two
weeks before García's fight with
Adrián Granados was
announced.[121]

Although Collazo had agreed the


terms to fight, Crawford was yet to
sign the agreement. On December
3, it was reported that Top Rank
had offered former unified light
welterweight champion Amir Khan
a guaranteed $5 million purse, plus
a percentage of PPV revenue, to
fight Crawford on March 23, 2019.
Khan explained how he was
considering the fight as it would be
a good pay day and for the WBO
welterweight title.[122] He stated
the fight with Kell Brook, who he
was in negotiations with over a big
domestic showdown, could still
take place at a later date.[123][124]
On January 4, 2019 with no
opponent announced, Crawford's
scheduled return to the ring was
pushed back to April 20, 2019.[125]
A few hours after, it was reported
that Khan accepted Top Rank's
offer to fight Crawford on April
20.[126][127] A press conference
was set for January 15, in London
and the fight was made official to
take place on ESPN PPV on April
20, 2019.[128] Khan admitted it was
a hard decision to make when
choosing to fight Crawford over
long-time rival Brook, as a bout
with Crawford would see his
legacy enhanced further. Khan
also believed winning another
world title against a consensus
pound for pound boxer would be a
bigger achievement than defeating
Brook.[129] Khan also revealed he
would return to veteran trainer
Virgil Hunter for the Crawford bout.
Hunter was unable to train Khan
for his previous two bouts due a
health scare.[130] After the
pressers concluded, New York's
Madison Square Garden was
chosen as the venue for the
bout.[131] BT Sport in the U.K.
picked up the event, announcing it
would take place on their PPV
platform.[132]

The match took place on April 20,


2019. Crawford knocked down
Khan 2 minutes into the first round
with a sharp right hand followed by
a left hook and came close to a
second knockdown, with Khan
seemingly being saved by the bell.
Despite making adjustments in
rounds two and three, Khan was
easily outboxed by the sharper and
faster Crawford. The champion
switched to southpaw in round
four and increased the pressure on
Khan. 40 seconds into round six,
Crawford hit Khan with an
accidental low blow. Despite being
given five minutes by referee
David Fields to recover, Khan's
trainer Virgil Hunter informed the
referee that Khan would not be
able to continue, giving Crawford
the win via TKO. Before the
stoppage, Crawford led on the
scorecards by 50–44, and 49–45
twice. According to CompuBox
stats, Crawford landed 88 of his
211 punches (42%) while Khan
landed 44 of his 182 punches
(24%). At the post-fight press
conference, Crawford accused
Khan of "quitting" in the fight,
which Khan denied.[133][134]

Crawford vs. Kavaliauskas ...


Having called for the opportunity
since November 2016,
Kavaliauskas eventually faced
Crawford on December 14, 2019.
Early in the fight Crawford
appeared to have been knocked
down, however it was not ruled a
knockdown. After a close first half
of the fight eventually Crawford
won by stoppage in the ninth. After
dropping the Lithuanian in the
seventh round with an overhand
right, and twice further in the ninth
with explosive punches, the
referee intervened to save
Kavaliauskas further
punishment.[135]

Crawford vs. Brook ...

On November 14, 2020, Crawford


retained his WBO welterweight title
by stopping former IBF
welterweight champion Kell Brook
in the fourth round.

Legal issues
On September 21, 2016 Crawford
was found guilty of criminal
mischief and trespassing related to
an incident from the April prior. He
had been charged with theft of
services, criminal mischief, third-
degree assault and trespassing.
The assault and theft charges
were later dropped. A sentence
hearing date was set for
December 15. The incident took
place at a local car body shop.
Crawford had made a partial
payment, but refused to pay the
remainder after he wasn't satisfied
with the work being done and
amount being charged. He started
to lower the car himself, damaging
the hydraulic lift.[136] At the
hearing, Crawford was sentenced
to 90 days in jail, but would be
serving 53 days.[137][138][139]
Crawford was incarcerated for
only 8 hours, before being
released after his attorney posted
a $10,000 bond.[140]
