Undefeated world super middleweight champion Terence Crawford has announced his retirement.
The 38-year-old revealed his decision in a video posted to X, saying he was walking away from the sport months after his September victory over Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, describing himself as "a great with nothing else left to prove".
"I'm stepping away from competition, not because I’m done fighting, but because I’ve won a different type of battle," Crawford said.
"The one where you walk away on your own terms."
Crawford, who retires with a 42–0 record, thanked his opponents, family, fans and members of his team.
His announcement comes after he was stripped of the WBC super middleweight title earlier this month over a failure to pay a required sanctioning fee.
