Terence Crawford Says Age—Not WBC Dispute—Led to His Retirement

He says at 38 he has nothing left to accomplish in boxing.

Overview

  • In new comments on Adin Ross’s stream, the 42–0 champion rejected claims that the WBC’s stripping him over a reported $300,000 sanctioning fee prompted his decision.
  • After beating Canelo Álvarez to become the first male fighter of the four-belt era to be undisputed in three divisions, he said his competitive goals were fulfilled.
  • Crawford added that he does not expect proper credit for dominant performances and sees no remaining matchup that would elevate his legacy.
  • He ruled out any MMA move, citing lower pay and added injury risks, echoing the position he publicly stated in 2016.
  • He remains retired following his September win in Las Vegas, with the WBC action acknowledged as a separate dispute and the WBA title still listed as his.
