Terence Crawford Undergoes Surgery

Three-weight undisputed champion Terence Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) took to social media to reassure fans following a successful surgical procedure, marking his first major update since his retirement last December.

The post below shows Crawford lying on a hospital bed with the following comments: “Surgery went great. Now it time to recover and get some rest. I hate going under, but I’m good everyone.” While the specific nature of the surgery was not detailed in his message, it follows months of speculation regarding a lingering shoulder issue that reportedly “flared up” during his training camp for the Canelo Alvarez fight last September. While Crawford won the fight via a unanimous decision to become undisputed at 168, he shut down rumors during the build up that he had a shoulder problem. The surgery also removes any talk of a potential return to boxing for now.
