Terence Crawford, the WBO Welterweight champion of the world since 2018, was once shot in the head in 2008. Why was Crawford shot and by whom? Let's find out!
Shortly before his twenty-first birthday, Crawford spent time with friends and began shooting dice. As luck favored him, he won, cashed out, and retired to his 1986 Pontiac Cutlass Supreme.
However, he made a mistake when he started counting his money instead of rushing from there. Out of nowhere, a gunshot was fired from behind. The bullet, measuring nine-millimeters, pierced through the rear window of his vehicle.
Fortunately, the bullet didn't lodge in his head but struck the right side just below his ear. Apparently, the nine-millimeter changed its path after hitting the rear windscreen. Otherwise, a direct hit could have been fatal for Crawford.
According to various sources, including 'worldboxingnews,' when questioned about the shooter, Terence Crawford shook his head and revealed that the assailant was shot and killed. Therefore, not much is known about his assailant.
His trainer, ‘Bomac’ McIntyre revealed that the incident had a profound impact on his mindset, leading to positive changes. It increased his focus and determination toward achieving his goals.
