He has had an illustrious career, taking up boxing at the early age of seven. During his amateur career, he managed to defeat future world champions like Danny Garcia and Mikey Garcia. With an undefeated record, the Nebraska resident has managed to establish himself as one of the top dogs in the sport.

Crawford, nurtured by Top Rank has managed to leave Tyson Fury and Canelo Alvarez‘s win streak behind. Moreover, he currently is the best pound-for-pound as per ESPN.
