Terence Crawford Announces Retirement from Boxing at 38

Posted : 17 December 2025

Undefeated world super-middleweight champion Terence Crawford has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 38.

The five-division champion revealed his decision in a YouTube video, months after his September victory over Canelo Alvarez. That win made Crawford the first male fighter in the modern era to hold undisputed titles in three weight divisions.

In a post on X, Crawford stated he was "walking away as a great with nothing else left to prove." He added, "I'm stepping away from competition, not because I'm done fighting, but because I've won a different type of battle."

Crawford began his impeccable professional career in 2008 with a victory over Brian Cummings. Over 42 fights, he remained undefeated, with 31 wins by knockout. Throughout his career, he defeated notable opponents including Kell Brook, Amir Khan, and Ricky Burns.

"This isn't goodbye, it's just the end of one fight and the beginning of another," Crawford said. He expressed gratitude to his family, team, fans, and opponents for supporting him throughout his journey.

In the YouTube video description, Crawford reflected on his career across five weight classes—lightweight, light-welterweight, welterweight, light-middleweight, and super-middleweight.

He said: "From Omaha to the biggest stages in boxing, every step of this journey was earned through sacrifice, discipline, and faith. I gave this sport everything I had. I faced the best, moved through weight classes, and made history on my own terms. 42-0. 3x Undisputed. Five-division world champion. No shortcuts. No excuses. This isn't goodbye to boxing...it's a thank you."

Crawford’s announcement comes shortly after he was stripped of the WBC super-middleweight title earlier this month for failing to pay a required sanctioning fee. Despite this, his legacy as one of boxing’s all-time greats remains firmly intact.
