Terence Crawford is widely regarded as one of the hardest punchers and most seasoned veterans in boxing. Since turning professional in 2008, he’s improved his record to an even more impressive 41-0, reinforcing his dominance in the sport. Of those victories, 31 came by knockout and the remaining ten by decision, showcasing his lethal power and elite boxing IQ.

Now, the two-weight undisputed champion faces his toughest test yet against Canelo Alvarez on September 13 in Las Vegas, a fight that could cement his place in history. The bout has fans wondering whether Canelo’s power will carry the night or if Crawford’s skills will elevate him to become the first fighter in the modern four-belt era to claim undisputed status in three different weight classes. But while all eyes are on the ring, it’s just as interesting to step outside the ropes and take a closer look at Terence Crawford’s personal life.

“Seven? Oh my God,” Canelo Alvarez exclaimed on the Piers Morgan show when he learned just how many children Terence Crawford has, noting that he himself has only three. Naturally, the revelation sparked curiosity, who is the mother of Crawford’s seventh child?

Does Terence Crawford's candidness about his seventh child show honesty or insensitivity in today's world?

What could have been an uncomfortable exchange quickly turned into a lighter moment. Bud Crawford laughed as he recalled the blunt way he told Alindra Person about the baby on the way. “N—a got one on the way…,” he said, reenacting the conversation. When Sharpe asked why he chose to be so straightforward, Terence Crawford doubled down with a laugh, replying, “You can’t lie. How are you going to lie? I’m just a man.”

Still, not everyone took the comments so lightly. While Terence Crawford may have brushed the subject off with humor, fans on social media criticized his casual tone, calling it insensitive given the circumstances. The Omaha native hasn’t addressed the backlash since the interview, leaving many to debate whether he was simply being candid or crossing a line. However, what did you think of Crawford’s claims?
