Jaron Ennis is slowly and steadily coming into the big welterweight picture with constant wins. Over the past few years, he’s been highly active and Ennis has elevated his stint in the perfect manner. However, the young gun now wishes to go even further and have a welterweight strap under his wing. Recently, he was in interaction with FightHype. Here, he opened up on bagging a 147-pound strap by year-end. “At least be, you know, ranked number one, in one of the belts and or have one of the belts by October, you know. That’s the goal. You know, I will be a world champion this year. It’s no more games, not playing. I’m here to take over this division,” he added.

Errol Spence Jr

 Errol Spence Jr Net worth, career, and Family Errol Spence Jr: Net worth in 2023 Thirty-three-year-old Long Island, New York-born Errol Spence Jr. reigns as the unified Welterweight champion of the world. The Southpaw began his professional boxing career in 2012 after a hugely successful stint as an amateur boxer. Spence Jr. has participated in twenty-eight fights, winning in his decade-plus-old career. Twenty-two of his victories were early stoppages rendering him a knockout-to-win rate of 78.57%. Fending off the challenges from some of the most well-known names of the era, according to ‘celebritynetwoth.com,’ Errol Spence Jr.’s net worth stands somewhere near $7 million.  1. Vs. Yordenis Ugas, April 2022 &#8211; Reportedly, the fight purse fixed for Spence Jr. stood around $1.5 million. But, he had a fifty percent stake in the overall revenue generated by PPV, sold at $74.99 per subscription. 2. Vs. Danny Garcia, December 2020 &#8211; The fight at the AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, reportedly made him rich by $1.5 million as the guaranteed purse. Additionally, he received $2 million from the revenue PPV sales generated. 3. Vs. Shawn Porter, September 2019 &#8211; According to a 2019 tweet by Kevin Lole from Yahoo Sports, the fight purse for both Spence Jr. and Porter stood around $2 million in addition to the split in the PPV purchases. Priced at $74.99 for a single subscription, the match recorded approximately 350k pay-per-view buys. 4. Vs. Mikey Garcia, March 2019 &#8211; The official fight purse for Spence Jr. versus Garcia stood at $3 million a piece, as reported by ESPN. However, according to an article in Forbes, both fighters took home nearly $8 million. 5. Vs. Carlos Ocompo, June 2018 &#8211; Per an article by Dan Rafael, Senior Writer for ESPN, Errol Spence Jr.’s guaranteed fight purse touched $1.2 million. Still, seemingly it went on the higher side thanks to his promoter Al Haymon. 6. Vs. Lamont Peterson, January 2018 &#8211; The fight at the Barclays Center in New York fetched about $1.2 million as the guaranteed purse for Spence Jr.  7. Vs. Kell Brook, May 2017 &#8211; Spence Jr. met Englishman Kell Brook in Sheffield, England, and received a guaranteed fight purse of $1.2 million. Apart from the matches mentioned above, other bouts where Errol Spence Jr.’s earnings remain significant include the following. 1. Vs. Leonard Bundu, August 2016 &#8211; For the contest in New York’s Ford Amphitheater, ‘The Truth’ earned roughly $250,000 as against Bundu, who received $30,000. 2. Vs. Chris Algieri, April 2016 &#8211; For the non-tile bout in New York’s Barclays Center, Spence Jr. took home $225,000, while his opponent received $325,000. Finally, aside from the money he makes from boxing, Errol Spence Jr. benefits from several endorsements and deals.  Some of the significant partnerships he has established over the years include Everlast, BODYARMOR, Avianne Jewelers, and SmartShop Self Storage, among others. However, it should be noted the precise details of the agreement, including Spence Jr.’s earnings from these deals, remain unavailable. Errol Spence Jr’s childhood and early life Errol Spence Jr. was born on March 3, 1990, on Ney York’s Long Island. He’s a long-time Texan, residing primarily in Dallas. Reportedly he spent some time at DeSoto High School, known for its successful football program. Until he was a sophomore in high school, he played football for Cedar Hill high school as well. It should be highlighted that Spence Jr. generously donated sixteen thousand water bottles to the DeSoto Independent School District’s student food program three years ago.  Errol Spence Jr’s family As far as his family is concerned, Errol Spence Jr. beams with pride as a father of three children. In 2015, he welcomed his first daughter Ivy; in 2017, he received his second, Violet. In 2020, he introduced his son Errol Dallas Spence to the world.  Errol Spence Jr. has never tied the knot. As we know, he has never spoken publicly about his family life, including the identity of his children’s biological mother. However, he has a girlfriend who goes by the name Debra. She is reported to be an online boutique owner called Shop Ashra.  They enjoy maintaining privacy regarding their relationship. Errol Spence Jr. was born to Errol Spence Sr., who retired as a FedEx contractor, and Debra Spence. His paternal ancestry is Jamaican, while his mother’s is African-American. Errol Spence Jr’s boxing career Errol Spence Jr. always had a love for boxing. But it wasn’t until he was fifteen years old, when Spence Sr. took him to a boxing gym, that he started training. Incidentally, the latter contacted famed, multi-award-winning trainer Derrick James to take his son under his wings. Soon the two formed a formidable partnership that continues to this day. 2008 at age eighteen, he took home the International Amateur Boxing Association championship. He dominated the Unites States National Amateur tournament competition for the next three years &#8211; 2009, 2010, and 2011.  He became the 2009 Golden Gloves champion (Salt Lake City). He received a silver medal at the Little Rock Golden Gloves a year later. The same year, in San Antonio, he held the Unites States National PAL Championships and won the gold medal.  Finally, at the 2012 U.S Olympic trials, he stood first in the 147 lbs. Unfortunately, he lost the quarter-final bout to Russia’s Andrey Zamkovoy at the London Olympics. Spence Jr’s amateur record displayed 135 wins against two losses when he was ready for the professional arena. In November 2012, Errol Spence Jr. commenced his hugely successful professional career. His fight against Jonathan Garcia in Indio, California’s Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, ended with a knockout win. He participated in twenty-one bouts for the next four years, winning all, with eighteen coming his way through knockouts. Close to seven of his opponents were packed off in the first round. On May 27, 2017, Errol Spence Jr. grabbed his first world title, IBF Welterweight, knocking down Englishman Kell Brook in the eleventh round at Sheffield’s Bramall Lane. 1.Versus Lamont Peterson &#8211; Errol Spence Jr. met fellow American Lamont Peterson at the Barclays Center in New York on January 20, 2018, for the first title defense. The duo reportedly knew each other from their amateur days.  But on the fight night, ‘The Truth’ outboxed and outclassed Peterson so much that the latter’s corner had to throw in the towel at the beginning of the eighth round. 2.Versus Carlos Ocampo &#8211; Spence Jr. faced then-undefeated Mexican Carlos Ocampo at The Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, five months later on June 20 for the second title defense. ‘The Truth’ closed the deal within the first round as a solid left to the body sent Ocampo down.  3. Versus Mikey Garcia &#8211; Nine months later, on March 16, 2019, Errol Spence Jr. met Mikey Garcia for his third title defense at AT &amp; T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Like in previous instances, the New York-born Southpaw outmaneuvered Garcia to convince the judges to hand over a unanimous victory using his reach. 4. Versus Shawn Porter &#8211; In a move towards title unification, Errol Spence Jr. squared up with WBC champion Shawn Porter on September 28, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. However, Spence Jr. proved too much for Porter despite his best efforts. The latter even got knocked down in the eleventh round. However, the tightly fought contest left no other option for the judges but to award a victory to Spence Jr. by a split decision. 5. Versus Danny Garcia &#8211; Errol Spence Jr. and two-weight division champion Danny Garcia met a year later on December 5, 2020, at the AT&amp;T Stadium in Texas. The former’s WBC and IBF Welterweight titles were at stake. The fight ended in a unanimous victory for Spence Jr.  6. Versus Yordenis Ugas &#8211; Next stage in Spence Jr.’s title unification took him to the doorsteps of the Cuban Yordenis Ugas, the reigning WBA (Super) Welterweight champion. The AT &amp; T Stadium fight on April 16, 2022, ended in a tenth round with a technical knockout victory for Spence Jr. A badly swollen right eye forced the referee to stop the fight based on the ring doctor’s assessment. Errol Spence Jr’s Signature Boxing Techniques Let’s review in greater depth about Errol Spence Jr.’s boxing style. Pressure fighter with a Strong lead hand: Errol Spence Jr. is great at putting most of the opponents on the defensive because of his ability to gauge the distance required to apply the apt pressure. Besides the jab, a remarkable ring generalship aids him in forcing the opponents onto the ropes.  Thus they either end up wasting energy through constant movements or, left with no other option, stay put against him. Finally, using the ‘shift technique,’ Spence Jr. applies pressure by quickly closing the distance and surprising the opponent with a powerful shot.  An excellent example of a referral could be the sixth round against Mikey Garcia. Puncher-boxer: In many ways, Errol Spence Jr. holds the ideal traits of a ‘Boxer Puncher’ with a slight tilt towards swarming. Strong in boxing fundamentals, the cornerstones of the American’s efficient and effective approach in the ring include a jab and a straight left to either head or body. Another aspect that needs special consideration is his ability to battle on the inside. The deadly combination of his aggression, physicality, and power, is often too much for his opponents. Block And Counter: The defensive and counterpunching prowess of Errol Spence Jr. often gets overlooked. But those form a critical part of his arsenal. Then he also uses his feet to great use by keeping a distance, thus making himself a challenging target to hit.  Likewise, he has put in much effort to improve this area. His ability to collect shots with his glove and counterattack is best exemplified during the Shawn Porter bout. He took more punishment in the fight, but his performance is still rated outstanding. Body Shots: As an owner of body punches rated among the best in the business, Spence Jr.’s competitor often suffers a stinging pain whenever he gets near them or tries to get on their inside. Likewise, during the offensive mode, if Spence Jr. faces trouble connecting with the opponent’s head, he switches to body assault. Though essentially a southpaw, he doesn’t hesitate to deliver a right hook to the body in the tight quarter. Once he pins his opponents down, Spence Jr. goes for a relentless attack knowing very well that targeting the body will keep the former more occupied, leaving the head vulnerable.  Shoulder Roll: Errol Spence Jr. evades powerful strikes without slipping or partially absorbing impact by using the shoulder roll, a technique brought to perfection by the Mayweather family. The method presents invaluable time for him to retaliate instantly without blocking the blow. Errol Spence Jr’s car collection and other luxuries Unlike many superstar boxers, Errol Spence Jr.’s car collection remains modest. However, they are all muscle cars that move like the wind. 1. Ferrari 488 Spider &#8211; One of Ferrari’s top-of-the-line offerings, priced at $284,700, this beauty boasts a 3.9 liter V8 engine, twin-turbocharged to produce 670 horsepower. Often regarded as the automobile maker’s most potent convertible ever, it has a top speed of 205 miles per hour and covers zero to sixty miles per hour in three seconds. Unfortunately, Spence Jr. was involved in an accident while driving the vehicle in 2019. 2. Lamborghini Gallardo &#8211; With its V10 engine producing a monstrous 550 horsepower, the Gallardo is one of the most extreme examples of Italian automotive genius. It is a product of Lamborghini’s decades-long history of producing luxury automobiles simultaneously, making it one of the most user-friendly supercars ever produced. The world champion might own other chariots. However, their details could not be sourced. Among other luxury goods, Spence Jr. rewards himself with a brand-new watch whenever he can.  Besides possessing a skeleton face and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, ‘The Truth’ reportedly planned on getting a Richard Mille. A Cologne connoisseur, his collection of expensive sprays includes Maison Francis Kurkdjian. After the 2019 fatal car accident, Errol Spence Jr. bought a sixty-acre ranch in DeSoto, Texas, where he spends time riding horses and caring for the cattle. Errol Spence Jr Awards and Achievement Errol Spence Jr. has had a brilliant outing as a professional boxer. Some notable awards and achievements he received include the following: Unified Welterweight World Champion: Spence Jr. held multiple world titles in the welterweight division, including the IBF (International Boxing Federation) in 2017 and the WBC (World Boxing Council) from 2019 and the World Boxing Association (Super) since 2022. World’s Best Active Welterweight &#8211; The Ring magazine and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board Prospect of the Year, 2015 &#8211; ESPN Golden Gloves, 2009, Salt Lake City &#8211; Gold Medal US National Championships, 2009(Denver), 2010, &amp; 2011(Colorado Springs) &#8211; Gold Medal US National PAL Championships, 2010, San Antonio &#8211; Gold Medal Errol Spence Jr’s horrific Car crash Though his expertise inside the ring remains unquestionable, it is outside, especially on the busy roads, that Errol Spence Jr. faces some issues. One, in particular, came out critical. In October 2019, roughly two months after he packed off Shawn Porter, Errol Spence Jr. met with a severe car accident in Dallas, Texas, during the wee hours. He lost control of his Ferrari 488 Spider. The vehicle flipped many times, even as the champion was thrown out. Reportedly, he hadn’t put on the seatbelt.  Finally, in June 2022, it was discovered that Spence Jr. had been driving under the influence. Therefore, he was imprisoned for three days and received a $3400 fine. The second incident happened three after the dangerous October crash. According to ‘The Truth, ’ a vehicle rear-ended his G Wagon. Incidentally, his insurance provider refused to cover him after the collision. The third accident occurred last December. As it turned out, a fourteen-year-old, who had taken his parent’s car, ran a red light and crashed into the front of his SUV. The accident reportedly resulted in a minor leg injury for the world champion.  He said, “I wanna say no serious injuries on the top, thank God for that man. I wasn’t injured, he wasn’t injured, and we weren’t having serious injuries. So it’s all blessings.”  Name Errol Spence Jr.  Born March 3, 1990   Place of Birth Long Island, New York  Nationality American  Education High School  Parents Father &#8211; Errol Spence Sr.  / Debra Spence  Height 5 feet 9 inches (175 inches)  Weight 145.5 lbs.

Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford’s Net worth, career, and Family Terence Crawford: net worth in 2023 After an eventful amateur career, Omaha, Nebraska-born Terence Crawford became a professional boxer in 2008. Ever since, he has fought thirty-nine times. He has yet to lose a bout. For a boxer who has spent close to one-and-a-half decade in boxing, according to ‘celebritynetworth.com,’ Terence Crawford’s net worth in 2023 stands at around $8 million.  Look at some significant fights that helped Crawford rake in big bucks. 1. Vs. David Avanesyan, December 2022 &#8211; His sixth title defense, Terence Crawford, during a conversation with Brian Custer, confirmed a purse of $10 million in addition to a 70% stake in the revenue generated by PPV buys. 2. Vs. Shawn Porter, November 2021 &#8211; According to ESPN, Terence Crawford received around $6 million for the bout besides the 60% split in the overall earnings. 3. Vs. Kell Brook, November 2020 &#8211; The match at the MGM Grand against the former IBF Welterweight title holder made Terence Crawford richer by the $3 million guaranteed amount besides the 60% of the PPV share. 4. Vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas, December 2019 &#8211; For his third fight at the Madison Square Garden after becoming the WBO Welterweight champion, Crawford reportedly took home a $4 million purse. 5. Vs. Amir Khan, April 2019 &#8211; For his second title defense against the former WBA and IBF champion, ‘Bud’ Crawford received a guaranteed payout of $5.5 million and a percentage of the earning made through PPV subscriptions. 6. Vs. Jose Benavidez Jr., October 2018 &#8211; His first title defense after moving to the Welterweight division against Jose Benavidez Jr. saw Terence Crawford take home roughly $3.625 million, according to ESPN. 7. Vs. Jeff Horn, June 2018 &#8211; The title fight in the new 147 lbs. Division against Jeff Horn that made Terence Crawford the new WBO champion fetched him a career-high $3 million, while his opponent took him $1.75 million. According to ‘Sportslens.com,’ for the undisputed title fight against Julius Indongo on August 19, 2017, the fight purse guaranteed to Terence Crawford hovered at $1.5 million.  For the two unification fights before, against Felix Diaz in May 2017 and John Molina Jr. in December 2016, he reportedly received $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. However, boxing paydays are not the only source of Terence Crawford’s income. Over the years, intelligent deals have bolstered his wealth immensely. The boxing legend’s association with sports firm Everlast remains his prominent contract. Additionally, he seems to have lucrative deals with Populum, SNAC, and Zilliqa. Thus, Terence Crawford’s sponsorship arrangements undoubtedly contribute to his riches.  Terence Crawford’s childhood and early life Terence Crawford was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He did his schooling at Bryan High School, Omaha, where his interest in the sport, which later became his career, developed. It is safe to assume the ‘Bud’ completed his high school, though not much information could be sourced regarding any higher education he might have pursued. Terence Crawford’s family Terence Crawford was born to Terry and Debbie Crawford on September 28, 1987. Shawntay Crawford and Latisha Crawford are his sisters. Throughout his career, they have stood behind their brother resolutely. Terence Crawford may be married to long-time partner Alindra Person. However, the two have known each other for many years and are proud parents to six children. Omaha, Nebraska, is where Person spent her early years.  She graduated from Burbank High School and spent most of her time looking after the children. Terence Crawford Jr. is the couple’s eldest kid. Their daughter Miya is currently an eighth grader.  Terence Crawford has two more sons &#8211; T Bud Crawford and Tyrese Crawford and two more daughters, Lay Lay Crawford and Trinity Michele Crawford.   Terence Crawford’s boxing career Reportedly, Terence Crawford took up the gloves at age seven. His amateur record stands at seventy wins against twelve losses. Some of the most memorable moments of his amateur stint remain victories over boxers such as Mikey Garcia and Danny Garcia, who became world champions like him. He won a gold medal at the 2006 United States National PAL championships. He grabbed a silver at the Golden Gloves in Omaha a few months later. In 2007, at the Colorado Springs held United States National Championships, he grabbed a bronze medal. Unfortunately, his Olympic dream stopped after losing the bouts to Sadam Ali and Miguel Angel Gonzalez during the 2008 Beijing Olympic trials. On March 14, 2008, he fought his first professional match. In a fifteen-year career, Crawford has participated in thirty-nine fights, winning all. It wasn’t until 2013 that he won his first title, the vacant NABO Lightweight. A year later, on March 1, 2014, he defeated the Scottish boxer Ricky Burns to become the WBO Lightweight champion. Besides adding The Ring Lightweight belt to his kitty, he retained the title that year. Next year, scaling up a division, he knocked out the Puerto Rican Thomas Dulorme on April 18, 2015, becoming the WBO Light Welterweight champion. The following year, during the third title defense, ‘Bud’ Crawford defeated the Ukrainian boxer Viktor Postol unanimously to add the WBC and vacant The Ring Light Welterweight belts. Terence Crawford’s moment came when his attempt at the undisputed championship came to fruition in 2017. On August 19, 2017, he faced Namibian Julius Indongo in Lincoln, Nebraska’s Pinnacle Bank Arena.  Putting his three world titles in Light Welterweight &#8211; WBC, WBO, and The Ring at stake, a powerful body shot from Crawford brought the match to an end in the third round. In turn, he grabbed the WBA (Super) and IBF Light Welterweight titles, thus making him the undisputed champion in the division. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; JUNE 09: Terence Crawford celebrates his victory after a TKO in the 9th round in the WBO welterweight title between Jeff Horn and Terence Crawford at MGM Grand Garden Arena on June 9, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Bradley Kanaris/Getty Images) A few months later, he left the WBO title, making it to the Welterweight division. There he challenged the title holder Jeff Horn from Australia. The match at the MGM Grand Arena on June 9, 2018, was stopped by the referee after a ruthless attack from Crawford. Since becoming the WBO Welterweight champion, Terence Crawford has defended the title six times. 1.Versus Jose Benavidez Jr. &#8211; The first title defense on October 13, 2018, at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, came from a technical knockout victory for ‘Bud.’ Referee Celestino Ruiz had to stop the match with barely a few seconds left in the final round when Benavidez Jr. received severe pummeling from the Omaha native. 2.Versus Amir Khan &#8211; Since months later, Crawford met Amir Khan from Great Britain at Madison Square Garden on April 20, 2019. Completely outboxed and outmaneuvered by the champion, the match stopped a minute after the sixth round started as the Briton’s corner threw in the towel. 3. Versus Kell Brook &#8211; After knocking out the Lithuanian Egidijus Kavaliauskas in December of that year, Terence Crawford faced his next challenge from another Briton, Kell Brook. The two met at MGM Grand Arena on November 14, 2020. The match ended in the fourth round with another technical knockout victory for ‘Bud.’ 4. Versus Shawn Porter &#8211; A year later, Crawford thwarted Shawn Porter’s challenge on November 20, 2021, at Michelob Ultra Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The latter’s corner threw in the towel by the tenth round as he failed to defend himself from Crawford’s onslaught. 5. Versus David Avanesyan &#8211; The sixth title defense ended in a knockout victory for Terence Crawford on December 10, 2022, in Omaha, Nebraska’s CHI Health Center.  Terence Crawford’s Signature Boxing Techniques A well-rounded boxer who quickly moves across tactics depending on the competitor, Terence Crawford displays high boxing IQ by employing techniques such as pressure fighting and counter-punching, among many others. Switching from Southpaw to Orthodox (and back) is one of the most challenging aspects of going in a fight against him. Let’s look at some critical aspects of Crawford’s fighting style. Switch Stance: Most of Terence Crawford’s opponents face a boxer in the classic Southpaw stance. But he has never exhibited rigidity over it, switching over to an orthodox posture briefly or perhaps the entire round.  Such a move often lures orthodox boxers beyond their skill set, leading ‘Bud’ to launch a devastating left-hand counterattack.  Similarly, he makes full use of his height which is five feet and eight inches, and the reach of seventy-four to keep opponents at a distance. He usually maintains his southpaw stance while facing other left-handed boxers to deflect any body shots. Simply put, Terence Crawford has mastered the switching that follows the scenario he might face in the ring. Jab and Parry: Terence Crawford uses a jab, often overlooked by most critics, to gauge his opponent’s distance. He will also use it to shield himself from the latter’s attack on the head and launch his counterstrikes. He often switches to the orthodox stance to knock out opponents with left and right hooks he sets up with his jab. A master of lead head feints, he uses the ploy regularly to confuse opponents. Pull and Counter: ‘Bud’ frequently executes a counterattack with a right hook, catching right-handed boxers who throw a jab unprepared. Crawford resorts to a full-scale attack as soon as he can make that the competitor is hurt. He usually applies pressure with a barrage of left hooks, straight punches, and varying his body position, wrongfooting the opponent. Footwork: The role played by Terence Crawford’s footwork in aid of his defense plan needs special mention. For instance, from a back foot posture, he shuffles back in straight lines, pivots to either left or right, and circles around the foe, stepping laterally. Thus the technique makes him one of the most challenging targets in the sport to hit. Shoulder Roll: Defending with a shoulder roll is a common tactic in boxing. It’s often linked to the defensive prowess of geniuses like Floyd Mayweather Jr. It starts with the lead shoulder rolled, thus defending the chin. The other hand is kept close to the cheek to block or launch a counterattack. Besides frustrating the opponent, the shoulder roll produces low wear and tear. By avoiding excessive movement and conserving energy, the shoulder roll is one of the most effective defensive techniques for a boxer. It will do good to remember that while a helpful method, mastering shoulder roll, takes a lot of work, timing, and knowledge about the opponent’s punches.   Terence Crawford’s car collection and other luxuries  Let’s check out Terence Crawford’s incredible car collection. 1. Mercedes AMG G63 &#8211; Priced at approximately $145,000, the G63 comes with a twin-turbo V8 engine generating 577 horsepower. The standard all-wheel drive has roomy, well-appointed interiors without compromising modern technology. 2. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat &#8211; The powerful, roughly $69000 Hellcat gives the owner an exciting driving experience. Its Hemi V8 engine sparks off 797 horsepower. Its rear-wheel drive (RWD) and standard ten-speed automatic transmission allow the driver to make donuts.  3. GMC Sierra &#8211; Terence Crawford also owns a GMC Sierra 1500 truck. Known for its power and versatility, the $69,000 automobile boasts a well-equipped interior. The value for the money vehicle could be purchased in different versions &#8211; from a V6 diesel engine to a turbo-V8 engine that generates 420 horsepower. 4. Hummer H2 &#8211; After the H1’s enormous popularity, primarily due to its military-grade body and powerful performance, the H2 saw a release. It boasts a more robust V8 engine producing 393 horsepower and 416 pounds per foot torque. While it is difficult to gauge the precise details of the jewelry and watch collection, the robbery at Terence Crawford’s residence in March this year sheds some light on the items taken away. According to TMZ, the incident took place at his Omaha residence. Reportedly the thieves took away gold chains, a gold cross necklace, and a bracelet set. Among other items stolen was an Audemars Piguet and a diamond Patek Philippe, each priced at approximately $100,000. The total value of stolen goods stood somewhere near $317,000. Then again, in a previous burglary incident going back to October 2021, the burglars stole a $137,000 worth Rolex watch from his home.  Terence Crawford Awards and Achievements Since he took on the gloves, Terence Crawford has received many awards and honors. 1.

WBO Welterweight &#8211; June 9, 2018 Terence Crawford Wrestling background Early in his childhood years, Terence Crawford felt a pull towards wrestling. Incidentally, his father, who served in the Navy, had been an accomplished high-school wrestler. Reportedly, a family friend named Wiley introduced him to the sport.   At the CW Boxing Club in North Omaha, he started honing his skills, and his unconventional boxing technique, taking after wrestling, emerged. Coming from a very athletic family, wrestling played a considerable part in their culture. Crawford inherited a passion for the sport from his illustrious family members. Despite his success as a pound-for-pound, one of the greatest boxers of the era, Terence Crawford longed to pass on the love of wrestling to his sons. His eldest son has already started achieving success in the sport.  Terence Crawford got shot So Terence Crawford made his professional debut on March 14, 2008. He engaged in five bouts that year and won them all. But it should be noted that he might have skipped the November battle if not for the tragic incident. As the story goes, a few days before he turned twenty-one, Crawford and a few of his friends were killing time one night and decided to start shooting dice. Before long, he was ahead of others. Terence lost interest after a few games and collected his winnings. He went to relax in his 1986 Pontiac Cutlass Supreme. But he made a mistake by staying there for a long time and not leaving immediately. As he began to count, there was a burst of gunfire from behind.  It was a nine-millimeter bullet that pierced the back glass of his car. It came out that ‘Bud’ wasn’t the target. The shooter was aiming at someone else. Fortunately, the bullet missed his brain and struck the right side of his head, below his ear.  The nine-millimeter changed its course once it came in contact with the back window. Had it struck Crawford directly, his condition would have been much worse. He kept his cool and drove himself to the hospital, bleeding profusely.  Since his injuries weren’t fatal, he was released shortly after receiving stitches. Terence Crawford showing his mental fortitude, once again fought Michael Williams on November 8, his fifth match of the year, barely two months after the incident.
