Undefeated, multi-division champion Terence Crawford announced his retirement today. The future Hall of Famer posted a YouTube video saying, "Every fighter knows this moment will come. You just never know when... I've spent my whole life chasing something. Not belts, not money, not headlines, but that feeling you get when the world doubts you but you keep showing up and keep proving them wrong. This sport gave me everything... and I did it all my way. And I've made peace with what's next. Now, its time. Thank you... I'm stepping away from competition. Not because I'm done fighting but because I won a different kind of battle, the oen where you walk away on your own terms. This isn't goodbye, its just the end of one fight and the beginning of another."
