Terence Crawford Stands Firm on Retirement, Dismissing WBC Title Dispute and MMA Switch

He says the choice reflects being 38 with nothing left to prove.

Overview

  • In a stream with Adin Ross, Crawford said the WBC’s December 3 stripping over a reported $300,000 sanctioning fee played no role in his decision to quit boxing.
  • He reiterated that age and a sense of completion drove the call, saying there was nothing left he could do to change how critics view his accomplishments.
  • He ruled out any transition to MMA, citing comparatively low pay and the added injury risks of wrestling, kicks and elbows.
  • He released new behind-the-scenes video showing a brief, congratulatory meeting with Tom Brady shortly after the Canelo Alvarez victory.
  • He praised Conor McGregor’s boxing showing against Floyd Mayweather as better than Jake Paul’s performance versus Anthony Joshua.
