Terence Crawford says 3 American fighters will ‘take over the sport’ now that he’s retired

Retired boxing legend Terence Crawford, who finished his career with an unbeaten 42-0 record and became the only post-war boxer to win undisputed titles in three separate weight divisions, has named three American fighters he believes will lead the sport going forward. In an interview with Ring Champs, Crawford highlighted Jaron 'Boots' Ennis, who became a two-division unified world champion by knocking out Xander Zayas in June 2026 and now holds the WBA and WBO super-welterweight titles. Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez was also named after recently conquering a third weight class, with the third fighter not fully detailed in the excerpt.
