Seconds earlier, Terence Crawford had been announced as Fighter of the Year, and James Brown’s iconic anthem blared throughout the room as the newly retired legend made his way to the stage.
Clad in a tuxedo, Crawford accepted the honor Friday night at Cipriani 25 Broadway, earning the annual award from The Ring Magazine for the first time in his storied career. “I guess I did pay the cost to be the boss,” Crawford said with a grin. “What a way to end your career. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself.”
