Terence Crawford, the 37-year-old American boxing champion, will step into the ring against Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Crawford holds the WBA super welterweight world title and boasts an impressive undefeated record of 41 wins, with 31 knockouts.
The upcoming match has shed light on Crawford's personal life, revealing he's a father of seven children. Crawford has been dating Alindra Person since the early 2000s, and the couple shares six kids together: Terence Jr., T Bud, Tyrese, Miya, Talaya (nicknamed "Lay Lay"), and Trinity Michele.
In a candid interview with Shannon Sharpe, Crawford disclosed he has a seventh child with another woman. The boxer didn't share many details about this child or its mother, but the revelation suggests a past indiscretion.
Despite his large family, Crawford remains open to expanding it further. He told Sharpe he'd welcome more children "if blessed."
When Canelo Alvarez learned about Crawford's seven children, he couldn't hide his surprise. "Seven? Oh my God!" Alvarez exclaimed. The Mexican boxer himself is a father of five: Emily Cinnamon, Maria Fernanda, Mia Ener, Saul Adiel, and Eva Victoria.
Crawford's family life adds a personal dimension to his professional achievements. He's made history as the first two-time undisputed world champion in boxing, holding the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles simultaneously.
As the September 13 bout approaches, fans will watch to see if Crawford's family man status affects his performance in the ring against Canelo Alvarez.
