Trevor Crawford remains one of those few select forces in the boxing world who can turn heads wherever he goes. If you need proof, just look at what happened in London. The newly crowned light middleweight champion joined fans to watch the Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois fight at London’s Wembley Stadium. Needless to say, a crowd thronged to catch a glimpse of the P4P best boxer in the world. Crawford clearly seemed to be enjoying his popularity across the pond.

On a lighter note, of course. ‘Bud’ Crawford mingling with Londoners saw a few imaginative ones recall the recent mix-up that occurred at the UFC Noche, where the four-division champion was hilariously misidentified as Grammy-winning musician Kendrick Lamar.
