Terence Crawford is the world champion in three weight classes, he is also the holder of the WBO Welterweight title for around 5 years now. He has had an illustrious career, taking up boxing at the early age of seven. During his amateur career, he managed to defeat future world champions like Danny Garcia and Mikey Garcia. With an undefeated record, the Nebraska resident has managed to establish himself as one of the top dogs in the sport.

Crawford, nurtured by Top Rank has managed to leave Tyson Fury and Canelo Alvarez‘s win streak behind. Moreover, he currently is the best pound-for-pound as per ESPN. His ring IQ, punching power, and counter-punching abilities put him levels above other boxers. No doubt his current success stems from the firm foundation of his earlier days.

As if reminiscent of the old days, recently a video of young Crawford working out a heavybag surfaced on the internet. ESNEWS shared the video on YouTube. Days before his bout against Errol Spence Jr., this video is definitely a treat for the fans.
