Terence Crawford (born Terence Allan Crawford on 28 September 1987 in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American former professional boxer who retired undefeated as the defining fighter of his generation. Fighting out of Omaha, which he represented throughout his career, he turned professional in 2008 and won world championships in five weight classes, from lightweight to super middleweight. He became undisputed champion at light welterweight in 2017 and at welterweight in 2023, when he stopped Errol Spence Jr., and in August 2024 he added a super welterweight title. On 13 September 2025, before 70,482 fans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, he rose two further divisions and outpointed Canelo Álvarez by unanimous decision to take the undisputed super middleweight championship, becoming the first male boxer of the four-belt era to be undisputed in three divisions. On 16 December 2025 he announced his retirement, closing his career at 42 wins, no losses, 31 by knockout, with his final twenty bouts all contested with a title on the line. Through 2026 he remained retired despite public calls for a Canelo rematch.
