Despite still revelling in the performance of his career, Terence Crawford has hinted that he could hang up the gloves.
The welterweight from Omaha, Nebraska is a two-division undisputed champion. Back in July, he competed in what many people are calling the Fight of the Year, with Crawford himself being crowned by plenty as the Fighter of the Year for the way he so stylishly dispatched the challenge of fellow unbeaten world champion Errol Spence Jr.
There is a contracted rematch that has not yet officially materialised which has left Crawford weighing up his options having also been the four-belt champion down at super lightweight back in August 2017.
He has been linked with fights with a wide array of fighters, most notably Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, although the difference in weight classes makes that one all but an impossibility, and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, who he has been quick to dismiss.
In a new post on X, Crawford has said he might have one more, but he might not.
“I might give y’all 1 more or not because y’all don’t know how to appreciate greatness when you see it.”

It seems Crawford feels under-appreciated for his work even despite topping many pound-for-pound lists.
That is not the view of Teofimo Lopez, however, who has knocked Crawford’s resume this week and called it overrated as well as calling out ‘Bud’ for a fight. Crawford was quick to respond and call Lopez ‘a p***y.’
As for his next fight, he also hinted recently that it may be off the table.
