Terence Crawford retires from boxing: 'Nothing else left to prove'

Five-division champion Terence Crawford announced Tuesday that he has retired from boxing.

The announcement came just three months after Crawford became the only boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed champion in three weight classes, accomplishing the feat when he defeated Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight championship in September.

Crawford posted on social media that he was "walking away 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 kind of battle. The one where you walk away on your own terms," Crawford said on his YouTube channel.
