Crawford, an American boxer with more than a decade of experience, has grown and adapted to every challenge in his career. At 37 years old, he's got nothing left to prove. Yet, he's chosen to face his destiny against the Mexican superstar Canelo.
The fight gives Crawford a chance to move up in weight and possibly retire as an undisputed champion in multiple divisions. It's also an opportunity for him to keep his undefeated record intact.
