Terence Crawford is already a legend in boxing, winning undisputed world championships at three weight classes in a dominant career so far.
“Bud” has dominated with title wins in five weight classes, making him one of the most decorated fighters of the modern era.
He made history by beating Canelo Alvarez to become an undisputed champion for the third time after jumping up to Super Middleweight, cementing himself as the top Pound-for-Pound boxer in the world.
Here is everything you need to know about Terence Crawford.
Terence Crawford’s age, height, weight, and reach
Terence Crawford was born on September 28, 1987, making him 38 years old as of September 2025. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska, where he first began training in a boxing gym to escape an abusive household.
He turned professional in 2008 at the age of 19 and embarked on a career that has so far made him an undisputed, undefeated champion at multiple weight classes.
Bud won his first world title at the age of 26, knocking out Ricky Burns to become WBO Lightweight champion. Crawford has won titles all the way up to Super Middleweight, culminating in his victory over Canelo Alvarez in 2025 at 36.
Crawford stands at five feet and eight inches, equivalent to 173 cm. He has fought and won titles in five weight classes, from Lightweight all the way up to Light Middleweight, and will fight at 168 lbs against Canelo.
He also has a reach of 74 inches (188 cm).
Terence Crawford’s Instagram and X/Twitter
Crawford is huge on social media, having accrued nearly 2 million followers on his Instagram page, tbudcrawford.
The boxing world champion posts nearly daily, featuring behind-the-scenes clips, training videos, and general examples of what he does from day to day, as well as the occasional advertisement or product placement to sell to his millions of fans.
Meanwhile, he has over 480,000 followers on X (formerly known as Twitter), and you can follow him at terencecrawford.
While this is a big drop from his Instagram audience, the reason seems to be due to how infrequently he posts on the platform.
Crawford hasn’t tweeted since posting about the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight in 2024, and has gone months without posting in the years leading up to his apparent abandonment of the page.
Terence Crawford and Kendrick Lamar
Crawford was erroneously mistaken for Kendrick Lamar when he was spotted in the crowd at a UFC show last year.
The world champion boxer was spotted in the crowd at UFC 306, with the tag on seen referring to him as Kendrick Lamar, the top musician who played the Super Bowl half-time show.
While the pair do look somewhat alike at times, confusing one of the top boxers in the world with one of the top musical artists in the world is a mistake that the UFC should not have been making.
Given that Crawford has now worked closely with Dana White in the fight with Canelo, you can rest assured that the UFC won’t be making the same mistake again.
Terence Crawford’s boxing record
Crawford’s record in boxing isn’t just impressive; it’s one of the greatest records in boxing history.
The undisputed Super Middleweight champion’s record is within touching distance of Floyd Mayweather and Rocky Marciano’s legendary records, and I’d back him to surpass them both the way he has been performing lately.
| Record (W-L-D) | (T)KO |
| 42-0-0 | 31-0 |
Since kicking off his boxing career in 2008, Crawford has gone 42 fights without defeat, starting with a 26-second knockout in his debut against Brian Cummings.
He has made victims of some of boxing’s top champions, like Amir Khan and Ricky Burns, to become a world champion at five different weight classes.
His win over Canelo took him to 42-0, with 31 of those coming via knockout.
Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez
Crawford wrote his name in the history books when he beat Canelo to become a five-weight world champion on September 13, 2025.
Bud was a five-weight champion going into this fight and was the first man to ever hold undisputed belts at two different weight classes.
Despite jumping up two weight classes to meet Canelo at 168 lbs, Crawford put on a legendary performance to frustrate the Mexican, handily beating him on points in Las Vegas.
In doing so, he won his record-breaking third undisputed title and cemented himself as an all-time great in boxing.
Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr
One of the biggest wins of Crawford’s career saw him go undefeated for the second time as he knocked out Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
Spence had never been knocked down in his career, but Crawford shocked the world by dominating the WBC, WBA, and IBF Welterweight champion over nine rounds.
The fight ended in the ninth round via TKO, which handed Crawford the undisputed Welterweight title for the first time in his career, making him the first man to go undisputed in two different weight classes in history.
The victory cemented Crawford as an all-time great and showcased that even as he jumped up the weight classes, the knockout power in his fists did not waver.
Terence Crawford vs Julius Indongo
Crawford went undisputed for the first time in 2017 when he landed a brutal knockout of Julius Indongo in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Bud was already the unified champion and was targeting Indongo’s WBA and IBF belts, putting his own belts and 31-0 record on the line.
It was a quick fight, ending after three rounds, where Crawford dominated his opponent and walked out as undisputed champion for the first time.
Going 32-0, he fought for the final time at Light Welterweight, jumping a class to beat Jeff Horn for the WBO Welterweight world title.
Terence Crawford’s net worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Terence Crawford has a net worth of over $20 million, which includes his biggest payday, which was the $10 million purse he received for his fight against Errol Spence Jr.
Crawford revealed he will receive another $10 million for fighting Canelo, which will pump up his net worth considerably.
This is a far cry from what was his first “big payday” as a professional, when he earned $125,000 for beating Breidis Prescott back in 2013.
While many say he was underpaid for his fight with Canelo, the fame he gained from beating the all-time great will earn him many more opportunities to make huge sums of money in the near future.
Terence Crawford’s next fight
There have been many reports and claims regarding Crawford’s next fight after his sensational victory over Canelo.
It has been suggested that Crawford fights David Benavidez in the future by Turki Alalshikh, as he plots the next move for “Bud” after his incredible victory on his Super Middleweight debut.
However, as of September 2025, Crawford’s next fight has not been announced.
It will be hard to match a bout on the scale of his fight with Canelo, but Crawford’s star has risen so much that he can easily draw a massive crowd on the back of his own name and make millions from it.
