Former undisputed world champion in three weight classes Terence Crawford candidly explained why he decided to hang up the gloves.

"Listen, many people ask me the same thing. I've been in this sport since I was seven years old, and now I'm 38, which is more than 30 years in boxing. Ask yourself, if you had put your body through such hard work for 30 years, would you leave the sport? That's exactly why I ended my career. I have nothing more to achieve in this sport. I gave my all to boxing, but I'm not going to sacrifice my health. And if I returned, who would I box with? No one, I've already achieved everything. Returning just for the money? I never boxed for them, only for the legacy," The Ring quotes Crawford.
