Watch: Terence Crawford Embraces Hip Hop Legend Eminem Post a Sensational Win

Terence Crawford knocked out Errol Spence Jr in the ninth round, after dropping him three times in the entire fight. The most anticipated bout couldn’t live up to the hype, as it was supposedly a contest between two titans of the Welterweight division. Nonetheless, it was an amazing fight for the sport, as the Welterweight division got its first Undisputed Champion during the 4-belt era. Moreover, Crawford has also become the first man to hold the crown of Undisputed in two different divisions.

So in addition to all the things that happened for the first time, there was one more legendary moment that took the whole T-Mobile Arena by surprise. The famous American rapper, Eminem, walked Terence Crawford out on the 8 Mile’s renowned soundtrack ‘Lose Yourself’. So, right from his walkout, Crawford began the course of his legendary victory.

Terence Crawford hugs Eminem after the fight

This is not the first time this year that Eminem appeared surprised at a live event. Before this, the ‘Rap God’ surprised the fans by popping up at one of Ed Sheeran‘s live concerts, last week. The moment Crawford could be seen on the screen, Eminem accompanied him by his side. Besides this, Crawford also received ‘Creed III’ tribute from Michael B. Jordan before the fight as well.

The whole stadium started trembling with excitement at the presence of the duo, and Em yelled, “Las Vegas, make some noise for the next undisputed welterweight champion of the world, Terence ‘Bud’ f***ing Crawford“. Now, many believed that Em would be singing, but he focused more on his duty of walking his boxer out. This was praised highly in the boxing community.

Crawford smiled at Em and hugged him, while the rapper congratulated him for such a gracious performance. Although many could never predict Eminem making a presence for ‘Bud’, this was actually pre-planned a couple of days before.

Crawford talking about Eminem agreeing to his request

After his victory, Crawford admitted to Showtime, how he managed to contact Eminem for helping him make an entrance. Crawford revealed that he reached out to the rapper on social media and then everything else went really smoothly. He even received a response in one of his Instagram Posts‘ comments section. The Undisputed Welterweight champion said, “I throw a rock in a haystack and he replied, I told him to pull up, and he said, ‘I’m there. You’re one of my favorite fighters.”

This made him quite happy, as Eminem hasn’t walked anybody out before. So a rap legend acknowledging the presence of one of the greatest boxers is quite wholesome and exciting. Crawford added, “That showed a lot of support for me, and that showed what level I’m at in the boxing world.”
