and as of July 2021, he is ranked as the world's second-best active boxer,

Terrence Crawford was born to parents Terry Crawford and Debbie Crawford.
As for his other family member, Terence has two older sisters named Latisha and Shawntay Crawford.
His wife is Alinda Person. The two are the proud parents of five children:
three sons and two daughters. Currently, the family of seven relishes their life

Crawford took up boxing at the age of seven. He fought 70 official amateur bouts,
losing only 12 times. As an amateur Crawford won gold medals at the 2007 U.S. Pan American Games
Box-Offs and the 2006 National PAL Championships and Blue & Gold National Championships.
Terence Crawford made his professional boxing debut in March 2008 with a win
over Brian Cummings. Stylistically, Crawford is known for his exceptionally fast hand speed,
ring IQ, punching power, counter-punching abilities and defensive skills,
as well as his ability to comfortably switch hit from orthodox to southpaw. Up
to this date, he has engaged in total of 37 fights and has not lost a single one.
Crawford has held multiple world championships in three weight classes,
including the WBO welterweight title since 2018. Previously he held the WBO,
Ring magazine and lineal lightweight titles from 2014 to 2015; and the unified WBA (Super), WBC,
IBF, WBO, Ring and lineal light welterweight titles between 2015 and 2017. In August 2017,
Crawford had a short reign as the undisputed light welterweight champion, prior to moving up
to welterweight. He was the most recent undisputed titlist at light welterweight since Kostya Tszyu
in 2004. Crawford also became the first male boxer to simultaneously hold all four major world
titles in boxing (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO) since Jermain Taylor in 2005, and is one of only five
male boxers in history to do so. The upcoming bout where Crawford will defend his welterweight title
against the #2 ranked WBO welterweight contender Shawn Porter is set on November 20 at Mandalay
Bay in Las Vegas, airing on ESPN+ PPV. As of July 2021, Crawford is ranked as the
world's second-best active boxer, pound for pound, by ESPN, and BoxRec, and third by TBRB, Boxing
Writers Association of America, and The Ring magazine. He is also ranked as the world's best
active welterweight by ESPN and BoxRec, and second by The Ring and TBRB. Crawford was named Fighter
of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 2014, and by ESPN in 2014 and 2017.
Terence Crawford has an estimated net worth of $8 million as of 2021.
He derived his prominent part of the income from his boxing career.
In September 21, 2016, Crawford was found guilty of criminal mischief and trespassing related to an
incident from the April prior. The incident took place at a local car body shop. Crawford had made
a partial payment but refused to pay the remainder after he wasn't satisfied with the work being done
and the amount being charged. He started to lower the car himself, damaging the hydraulic lift.
At the hearing, Crawford was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but would be serving 53 days. Crawford
was incarcerated for only 8 hours, before being released after his attorney posted a $10,000 bond.
In 2020, the professional boxer shows off his massive gun collection to his Instagram followers.
In his photo, Crawford surrounded himself with a collection of rifles, pistols, and at least one
shotgun. He also revealed that he’s only showing off half his collection. Apparently, when he’s not
showing opponents his boxing gloves in the ring, he’s an avid gun collector on the side. In an
Instagram story, Crawford and some of his buddies went to an outdoor shooting area near his home in
Omaha, Nebraska and opened fire on some exploding targets. And shocker, his aim's pretty good!
