Terence Allan Crawford (born September 28, 1987) is an American professional boxer. He has held 18 different major world championships in five weight classes from lightweight to super middleweight, including the undisputed championships at light welterweight, welterweight, and super middleweight. He is the second-ever male three-weight undisputed boxing champion. In the "four-belt era", he is the first male boxer in history to capture the undisputed championship in two and three divisions, and the first to achieve that status at both light welterweight and welterweight. He has held the undisputed super middleweight title since September 2025.
In 2014, Crawford traveled overseas to fight Ricky Burns and won his first world championship, the WBO lightweight title. After two successful defenses, he moved up to light welterweight in 2015 and defeated Thomas Dulorme for the vacant WBO light welterweight title. In 2017, Crawford had a short reign as the undisputed light welterweight champion, being the first since Kostya Tszyu in 2004, and the first in any weight class to simultaneously hold all four major world titles since Jermain Taylor in 2005. In 2023, he defeated Errol Spence Jr. to become the undisputed welterweight champion, the first since Zab Judah in 2006. In 2024, he moved up to light middleweight and defeated Israil Madrimov to become a quadruple champion. In 2025, Crawford defeated Canelo Álvarez by unanimous decision to capture the undisputed super middleweight championship, becoming one of only six male boxers in history to win world championships in five divisions.
Crawford is the only boxer in history to hold The Ring magazine title in four divisions and joined Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the only fighters to become four-division lineal champions. He is also one of two boxers in history to have won world titles at lightweight and super middleweight. Throughout his 17-year professional career, Crawford has never been knocked down, nor has a single judge ever scored a fight in favor of his opponent.
Crawford was named Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) in 2014, and by ESPN in 2014 and 2017. He's also received the Best Fighter/Boxer ESPY Award in 2018 and 2024. Consistently ranked among the top boxers of his generation, Crawford is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time. He was recognized as the world's top pound-for-pound boxer by the BWAA from October 2017 to May 2018, again in June 2022, and by The Ring magazine from July 2023 to May 2024, and again since September 2025.
