Terence Allan “Bud” Crawford is an American former professional boxer from Omaha, Nebraska, who competed from 2008 to 2025 and retired with an undefeated record of 42-0. He won 18 major world championships in five weight classes, from lightweight to super middleweight, including the undisputed championships at light welterweight, welterweight and super middleweight.
Crawford’s run through the divisions is unmatched in the four-belt era: he was the first male boxer to capture the undisputed championship in two divisions, then three, and the only boxer in history to hold The Ring magazine title in four divisions. Along the way he was never knocked down, and no judge ever scored a single one of his fights for his opponent.
He closed his career with the biggest win of all — moving up to super middleweight to beat Canelo Álvarez by unanimous decision on 13 September 2025 and capture the undisputed super middleweight championship, becoming one of only six male boxers in history to win world titles in five divisions. This is his complete professional record, fight by fight.
