It’s a career full of accolades, but he’s arguably never fought a superstar of Canelo’s magnitude. The boxing world waits in anticipation of the undisputed super middleweight title fight.

Crawford has made his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska proud with his achievements inside the ring and has now received a honorary award from the University of Nebraska. Apart from his glorious career, Crawford helps the community with his B&B Sports Academy. The institution focuses on keeping kids out of trouble. The official website lays out its mission:

B&B Sports Academy is a community-based athletic center that builds body, mind and character. Expert, caring coaches help members reach goals inside and outside the ring. Positive, structured activities teach confidence, discipline and healthy habits for a lifetime. Learn about the winning edge at B&B, the home gym of world champion Terence “Bud” Crawford.

Por su trabajo con la organización, Terence Crawford recibió el primer premio Spirit of the Maverick de la Universidad de Nebraska.

Crawford puede competir con cualquier boxeador de la historia. Sin embargo, está subiendo dos categorías de peso contra un pegador fuerte como Canelo Álvarez, con las probabilidades en su contra. El rompecabezas de Terence Crawford aún no se ha resuelto dentro del ring. Dicho esto, Canelo es un enigma en sí mismo.
