Teofimo Lopez, who appears to be a fan of Manny Pacquiao, is clearly excited to see him return against Errol Spence Jr. in August. While boxers of his age choose to retire or compete in exhibitions, ‘Pac-Man’ is still looking for the best challenges. Hence, he has opted to fight the unbeaten welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. in a title clash. This move has earned him appraisals from the boxing world. In a chat with ES NEWS, ‘Take Over’ gave his opinion on the scheduled bout. He also vowed to be present in the arena when the fight happens. “He [Manny Pacquiao] is an icon, literally. And taking a chance like that against Errol Spence, who is an unified world champion at the moment at 147. Hey man, he and Vegas, I know everyone is going to be there. I am going to be there. Manny Pacquiao, you are not human. But that’s all god’s blessings,” said Teofimo Lopez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/teofimo-lopez/]. Ending over a two-year-long lay-off from the ring, Pacquiao will dream of becoming a world champion again. However, his nearing opponent may not be easy to deal with. The undefeated champion, Spence Jr., has been on a tear in the 147 lbs weight class. So, Pacquiao might be in serious trouble when he steps through the ropes.

Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor Net Worth 2024, Wife, Next Fight, and More Who is Conor McGregor? There&#8217;s barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. ConchÃºr AntÃ³in Mac GrÃ©agÃ³ir, an Irish MMA fighter, has become synonymous with the UFC, at least for an entire generation of fans. Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M. READ MORE &#8211; Conor McGregor Arrest: What Case Is the UFC Star Involved In Now? Alongside all these, McGregor also owns a chain of pubs called the Black Forge Inn. They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away 50,000 to help the homeless people of Ireland. In May 2020, McGregor donated 1.3 million worth of PPE to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has inspired several fans including a disabled man to turn their lives around. In April 2021, McGregor donated $500,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana. The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana is involved in the growth and care of children from vulnerable houses and communities.

The fighter also appeared in a commercial entering a room laden with toys here and there, eventually morphing into one of them by harnessing the power of the shoes and defeating the rogue toys. The tagline appears- â€˜sport the unexpected.â€™Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s house The UFC fighter, a family man, owns several houses, all worthy of a king. One is of course in his homeland, wherein he spent two million Euros for the lush The Paddocks near Straffan. The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a games room. Apart from that it faces River Liffey and even has a horse riding establishment.Â  He also owns a luxe property in Marbella, which is his holiday abode that came at a price of nearly 1.3 million Euros. A modern house that has been customized to the fighterâ€™s needs, it also offers picturesque views of the Mediterranean, only a doorstep away from the La Resina Golf Course. And of course, how can â€˜The Notoriousâ€™ skip the Sin City! The Mac Mansion sits only minutes away from the Vegas Strip, with seven bedrooms, a 50ft luxury pool, as well as its very own golf course.Â  And to nobodyâ€™s surprise, all his properties have customized gyms, and spas, that make sure McGregor can train anywhere he is.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s knockouts Hereâ€™s a list of McGregorâ€™s knockouts, starting from his latest win-Â  Against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, 2020 Against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, 2016 Against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 Against Chad Mendes, UFC 189, 2015 Against Dennis Siver, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Silver, 2015 Against Dustin Poirier, UFC 178, 2014 Against Diego Brandao, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao, 2014 Against Marcus Brimage, UFC on FUEL TV: Mousasi vs Latifi, 2014 How to contact Conor McGregor?

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.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Ryan Garcia?</b></h2>
Ryan Garcia, the twenty-five-year-old young boxer from California, is gradually climbing up the ranks in the world of boxing. The Victorville native has used his skills inside the ring, and his strong social media presence to become one of the biggest draws in the sport.

[caption id="attachment_1581748" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1581748" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0044200562h.jpg" alt="Ryan Garcia" width="1920" height="1285" /> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES NOVEMBER 2, 2019: American boxer Ryan Garcia wins his WBC Silver and NABO lightweight title bout against Philippine rival Romero Duno at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Valery Sharifulin/TASS PUBLICATIONxINxGERxAUTxONLY TS0C18B1[/caption]

The five feet and ten inches tall boxer, after an outstanding amateur outing, started his professional journey in 2016 and received his first belt, WBC - NABF (Vacant) Junior Super Featherweight championship, a year later. Four years later, he won the WBC (Vacant) Interim Lightweight championship.

So far, he has participated in twenty-five fights, with just one loss in his boxing record.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s early life</b></h2>
Ryan Garcia was born to Henry Garcia and Lisa Diaz on August 8, 1998, in Victorville, California. He comes from a large family, which includes three sisters - Kayla Garcia, Demi Elise, and Sasaha Marie, and a brother Sean, who is also into boxing.

Sean was born on October 24, 2000. Like his brother, he was initially introduced to boxing by their father. He debuted professionally on October 28, 2017, against Luis Eduardo Ochoa. As of now, his record stands at seven wins and one draw. According to <i>SportLulu</i>, he and his wife, Surrissa, are parents to Layla and Ellie.

Of Mexican ancestry, in the ring, Ryan is often seen carrying the flags of Mexico and the U.S. Unlike many other examples, Garcia stays happily with his family. He started learning the nuances of boxing from his father, a former boxer. On the other hand, his mother has been reported to handle some of his ventures.

Though only a little information is available regarding his education, based on his mother's previous comments and an LA Times article, it's safe to presume he had primary schooling at Adelanto High School. But increasing involvement with amateur circuits forced a switch over to home-schooling.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
Ryan Garcia was married to Andrea Celina, known more popularly as Drea Celina. They announced their divorce in January, after the birth of their first baby boy Henry Leo Garcia.

The 1996-born model, fitness trainer, and social media influencer of Mexican and Italian descent began dating the famous boxer in 2019. Eventually, they decided to tie the knot in 2021.

In December 2020, they conceived a daughter named Bela. After that, however, their relationship ran into rough weather when pics of Garcia reportedly kissing Cuban-Spanish singer and TikToker Malu Trevejo leaked.

Before he met Drea Celina, KingRy was seeing Catherine Gamez, a Columbian social media celebrity. Their relationship began in 2017. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-meet-rylie-garcia-the-daughter-of-ryan-garcia/">Then, on March 19, 2019, their daughter Rylie was born</a>. Soon after, they separated.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â  Ryan Garciaâ€™s net worth</b></h2>
According to <strong><i>CelebrityNetWorth</i></strong>, Ryan Garciaâ€™s net worth stands at approximately in the vicinity of $20 million.

Given that he turned a pro-boxer at age seventeen and the number of big fights he has participated in remain far and few, it could be fair to assume that earnings through sponsorships, endorsements, and deals would have formed a significant share of his fortune.

When he started his professional journey, his paycheck used to be in the periphery of $55,000. Three years later, when he fought Romero Duno at MGM Grand Arena, he received $250,000. After that, however, it was revised, and he ended with $500,000.

In 2022, for the bout against Emmanuel Tagoe, Ryan Garcia reportedly made $3 million, besides 70% of the PPV revenue. Later, for the Javier Fortuna fight, he netted $2 million.

Last year, Garcia was involved in one of the biggest fights of his career against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gervonta-davis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gervonta Davis</a>. Even though Garcia lost, he was part of one of the highest-grossing PPV events of all time. According to the Victorville native, the fight made over $100 million in revenue. Out of which, Garciaâ€™s fight purse was a whopping $30 million, according to his promoter Oscar De La Hoya.

The 25-year-old boxer then followed up the Davis fight with a matchup against fellow American boxer Oscar Duarte Jurado. The fight, fairly diminished in profile compared to his last bout, fetched Garcia around $ 5 Million, according to various reports.

Moreover, as most know, fight purses are not the only source of Garcia's overall income.

Given his good looks and overall youthful persona, Ryan Garcia is undoubtedly one of the most recognized athletes in the world today. His popularity could be gauged by the 10 million followers that he has on Instagram. Therefore, some notable brands inadvertently lined up to exploit his reach and boost his net worth.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â  Â Ryan Garciaâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Ryan Garcia reportedly started training at age seven. In 2014, he won a silver medal at the Reno Junior National Championships (Under 17). Incidentally, one of the boxers to whom he lost a bout was future champion, Devin Haney.

The following year the duo met again at Youth National Championships (Under 19) in Reno, and the outcome was to repeat itself. But in 2016, Ryan Garcia had his moment when he won the Gold at the 2016 Youth National Championships (Under 19). His amateur record stood at two hundred and fifteen wins against fifteen losses.

By June 2016, he launched his professional career with a technical knockout win over Edgar Meza in Tijuana. He won his first title, the vacant WBC - NABF Junior Super Featherweight title, a year later on September 15, 2017.

By May 4, 2018, a unanimous victory of Jayson Velez enabled him to top up the titles to WBC - NABF and WBO - NABO Super Featherweight. Then, on November 2, 2019, a knockout victory over Romero Duno fetched him the WBO - NABO and the vacant WBC Silver Lightweight titles, which he ably defended against Francisco Fonseca.on February 14, 2020.

His big moment came on January 2, 2021, when he defeated 2012 Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, and took home his first title, WBC Interim Lightweight.

In 2022, Ryan Garcia had two bouts, the first on April 9 in San Antonio against Emmanuel Tagoe and the second on July 16 in Los Angeles against former champion Javier Fortuna. Not only did he win resoundingly in both, but the matches provided significant fight purses to him.

Last year too, Garcia fought twice. On April 22, 2023,<strong> 'KingRy'</strong> fought Gervonta Davis at T-Mobile Arena in Nevada.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1694882" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1028511356h.jpg" alt="Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia" />

It was the biggest PPV event of his entire career, but unfortunately, he picked up his first loss in his professional boxing record. Garcia was outperformed by Davis, the latter knocking Garcia down in the second round by a counter left hook, and then subsequently ending the fight with a brutal body shot that made the Victorville native take a knee, unable to respond to the refereeâ€™s ten-count. However, KingRy managed to make a successful comeback in December against his American counterpart Oscar Duarte, knocking him out in the eighth round.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s contract</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It would be interesting to note that in September 2019, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/oscar-de-la-hoya/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar De La Hoya</a>'s Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia reportedly settled for a $700 million deal. Garcia's agreement with the promotions got a five-year extension the same month.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Garcia's relationship with Golden Boy Promotions' head honcho Oscar De La Hoya has soured since 2023 April. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">It all started after the 6-division world champion was a no-show at the post-match conference of the Davis fight. KingRy was upset that his promoter wasn't there for moral support, and over the entire year questioned his loyalty. Garcia's legal team even sent a demand letter alleging a violation of the contractual agreement between him and the promotion, thereby demanding the contract be terminated. In response, Oscar De La Hoya's promotion filed a lawsuit against Garcia to enforce its contract with the boxer. This prompted Garcia to file a motion aiming to dismiss Golden Boy Promotions' lawsuit against him. <em>"</em></span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"><em>Rather than stand by their boxer, De La Hoya and his co-owners of Golden Boy took to social media to disparage him," </em>the motion stated<em>. "In a sport where the exploitation of boxers is legend, De La Hoya and Golden Boy have written a new chapter."Â Â Â </em></span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The motion also alleged that Golden Boy failed to fulfill its payment obligations to Garcia, and didn't honor broadcast commitments. As things stand currently, Ryan Garcia is still fighting under the Golden Boy Promotions banner, but the bad blood between him and De La Hoya persists.Â </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s partnership and endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It isn't a surprise that some big companies have lined up to exploit Garciaâ€™s reach as a rising star in boxing with immense talent and charisma.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Gym Shark</strong>, one of the most well-known fitness accessories and apparel companies, offered the boxer one of the biggest endorsement deals of his career. However, the exact figure of the deal is not known.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2018, Garcia signed an endorsement deal with <strong>Gatorade</strong> and has even appeared in a few different commercials for the company. Apart from that, he is also signed with the Mexican Tequila brand </span><b>1800 Tequila and </b>luxury fashion brand<b> Dior.</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His most recent brand association is with </span><b>YoungLA, </b><span style="font-weight: 400">a lifestyle clothing brand based in the US. He signed a deal with the company in 2023.</span><b>Â </b>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Additionally, he is known to have undertaken modeling assignments for a few other big names.Â </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s career stat</b></h2>
Ryan Garciaâ€™s professional record stands at 24 wins against one loss. Twenty of his victories came through knockouts, securing a knockout ratio of 83.33%
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s house</b></h2>
<b>Â </b><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-ryan-garcia-spends-big-chunk-of-his-net-worth-on-luxurious-l-a-mansion/">Ryan Garcia invested roughly $3 million in a house in La Jolla, California</a>. Located in Porter Ranch, it is situated 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. The property is spread around 3,680 square feet, housing five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The two-story complex also has a basketball court, deck/patio, and a large pool, among other amenities.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Ryan Garciaâ€™s titles</b></h2>
Ryan Garcia hasnâ€™t won a major world title yet (hasn't won any titles under the four major sanctioning bodies in professional boxing).
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Ryan Garciaâ€™s car collection</b></h2>
What exactly does a twenty-five-year-old millionaire boxer do with his $20 million fortune? Like many sports personalities, Ryan Garcia is no exception. He loves cars.

Information on the precise number of cars in his collection remains to be determined. However, Ryan Garcia does shower his love on a few unique pieces.

<b>Audi RS7:</b>

One of Ryan Garcia's earliest purchases. The model with a V8 engine has 600 horsepower. He reportedly paid $150,000 to get it home.

<b>Lamborghini Urus:</b>

It has a V8 engine and boasts 650 horsepower. It can reach a top speed of 190 mph and covers zero to sixty-two miles per hour in 3.6 seconds. He reportedly shelled $230,000 to buy the expensive ride.

<b>Ferrari 488 Spider:</b>

Though it lightened up his wallet by $500,000, Garcia certainly believes the car with a V8 engine, 670 horsepower, 202 mph top speed, and one that shoots from zero to sixty-two miles per hour in three seconds to be worth every penny.

<b>Porsche 718 Boxster:</b>

The Flash is often seen with this beauty. With a top speed of 180 mph, it zooms from zero to sixty miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. He reportedly bought it for $200,000.

<b>Mercedes-Benz G-Class:</b>

Garcia's latest purchase has a 4.0 L V8 engine that delivers 422 horsepower. With a top speed of 131 mph, it can go from zero to sixty-two miles per hour in 5.9 seconds. Reportedly, he shelled out $300,000 to make it his.

Ryan Garciaâ€™s contract It would be interesting to note that in September 2019, Oscar De La Hoya&#8216;s Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia reportedly settled for a $700 million deal. Garcia&#8217;s agreement with the promotions got a five-year extension the same month. However, Garcia&#8217;s relationship with Golden Boy Promotions&#8217; head honcho Oscar De La Hoya has soured since 2023 April. It all started after the 6-division world champion was a no-show at the post-match conference of the Davis fight. KingRy was upset that his promoter wasn&#8217;t there for moral support, and over the entire year questioned his loyalty. Garcia&#8217;s legal team even sent a demand letter alleging a violation of the contractual agreement between him and the promotion, thereby demanding the contract be terminated. In response, Oscar De La Hoya&#8217;s promotion filed a lawsuit against Garcia to enforce its contract with the boxer. This prompted Garcia to file a motion aiming to dismiss Golden Boy Promotions&#8217; lawsuit against him. &#8220; Rather than stand by their boxer, De La Hoya and his co-owners of Golden Boy took to social media to disparage him,&#8221; the motion stated. &#8220;In a sport where the exploitation of boxers is legend, De La Hoya and Golden Boy have written a new chapter.&#8221;Â Â Â  The motion also alleged that Golden Boy failed to fulfill its payment obligations to Garcia, and didn&#8217;t honor broadcast commitments. As things stand currently, Ryan Garcia is still fighting under the Golden Boy Promotions banner, but the bad blood between him and De La Hoya persists.Â  Ryan Garciaâ€™s partnership and endorsements It isn&#8217;t a surprise that some big companies have lined up to exploit Garciaâ€™s reach as a rising star in boxing with immense talent and charisma.Â  Gym Shark, one of the most well-known fitness accessories and apparel companies, offered the boxer one of the biggest endorsement deals of his career. However, the exact figure of the deal is not known.Â  In 2018, Garcia signed an endorsement deal with Gatorade and has even appeared in a few different commercials for the company. Apart from that, he is also signed with the Mexican Tequila brand 1800 Tequila and luxury fashion brand Dior. His most recent brand association is with YoungLA, a lifestyle clothing brand based in the US. He signed a deal with the company in 2023.Â  Additionally, he is known to have undertaken modeling assignments for a few other big names.Â  Ryan Garciaâ€™s career stat Ryan Garciaâ€™s professional record stands at 24 wins against one loss. Twenty of his victories came through knockouts, securing a knockout ratio of 83.33% Ryan Garciaâ€™s house Â Ryan Garcia invested roughly $3 million in a house in La Jolla, California. Located in Porter Ranch, it is situated 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. The property is spread around 3,680 square feet, housing five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The two-story complex also has a basketball court, deck/patio, and a large pool, among other amenities. Â Ryan Garciaâ€™s titles Ryan Garcia hasnâ€™t won a major world title yet (hasn&#8217;t won any titles under the four major sanctioning bodies in professional boxing). Ryan Garciaâ€™s car collection What exactly does a twenty-five-year-old millionaire boxer do with his $20 million fortune? Like many sports personalities, Ryan Garcia is no exception. He loves cars. Information on the precise number of cars in his collection remains to be determined. However, Ryan Garcia does shower his love on a few unique pieces. Audi RS7: One of Ryan Garcia&#8217;s earliest purchases. The model with a V8 engine has 600 horsepower. He reportedly paid $150,000 to get it home. Lamborghini Urus: It has a V8 engine and boasts 650 horsepower. It can reach a top speed of 190 mph and covers zero to sixty-two miles per hour in 3.6 seconds. He reportedly shelled $230,000 to buy the expensive ride. Ferrari 488 Spider: Though it lightened up his wallet by $500,000, Garcia certainly believes the car with a V8 engine, 670 horsepower, 202 mph top speed, and one that shoots from zero to sixty-two miles per hour in three seconds to be worth every penny. Porsche 718 Boxster: The Flash is often seen with this beauty. With a top speed of 180 mph, it zooms from zero to sixty miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. He reportedly bought it for $200,000. Mercedes-Benz G-Class: Garcia&#8217;s latest purchase has a 4.0 L V8 engine that delivers 422 horsepower. With a top speed of 131 mph, it can go from zero to sixty-two miles per hour in 5.9 seconds. Reportedly, he shelled out $300,000 to make it his.

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.

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.
