Terence Crawford has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 38, concluding his career with an unbeaten record.
He exits the sport as the only fighter in the four-belt era to be an undisputed champion at three different weight classes, while held titles in five weight classes.
Crawford's retirement comes three months after he defeated Canelo Alvarez to claim the undisputed super-middleweight titles, improving his record to 42-0 (31 knockouts).
His historic five-division conquest included undisputed triumphs at welterweight and super-lightweight, alongside world titles at lightweight and super-welterweight.
The announcement follows a recent public dispute with the World Boxing Council (WBC) over unpaid sanctioning fees, which resulted in him being stripped of a title.
