Terence Allan Crawford (born September 28, 1987) is an American professional boxer. He has held multiple world championships in four weight classes, from lightweight to light middleweight, including lineal titles in three of those weight classes, the undisputed championship[b] at light welterweight and welterweight—and is one of only three male boxers in history, along with Naoya Inoue and Oleksandr Usyk, to become the undisputed champion in two weight classes in the "four-belt era", being the first among them to do so. He has held the World Boxing Association (WBA) light middleweight and World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim light middleweight titles since 2024.

In 2014, Crawford traveled overseas to fight Ricky Burns and won his first world championship, the WBO lightweight title. After two successful defenses, he moved up to light welterweight in 2015 and defeated Thomas Dulorme for the vacant WBO light welterweight title to become a two-division champion.[2] In 2017, Crawford had a short reign as the undisputed light welterweight champion, being the first since Kostya Tszyu in 2004, and the first in any weight class to simultaneously hold all four major world titles since Jermain Taylor in 2005.[3] In 2023, he defeated Errol Spence Jr. to become the undisputed welterweight champion, the first since Zab Judah in 2006.[c][4]

Crawford was named Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) in 2014, and by ESPN in 2014 and 2017. As of January 2025, he is ranked as the world's best boxer, pound for pound, by the BWAA; second by ESPN; and third by The Ring and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.
