History was made on the night of July 29th. Terence Crawford cemented his name in the history books after becoming a two-time undisputed champion in two world divisions. He is the first-ever male professional boxer to achieve such a feat. But, it should be noted that this success did not come overnight for him. His journey to become one of the best pound-for-pound boxers began at an early age when he tightened his boxing gloves for the first time ever.
From learning to box at the age of seven to winning different world championships in different weight divisions. Crawford has come a long way in the sport. A sneak peek of those times is going viral on the internet. Days after he made history, a picture of ‘Bud’ from his early days in the sport is making turns on the internet. The picture shows a young boxer who would go on to dominate the sport of boxing in his respective boxing division.
