Terence Crawford celebrates his father’s birthday with a unique gift
Growing up, a young Terence saw his parents drink and argue often. While his mother was more of a ‘tough love’ person, his dad was his comfort space. His dad was always proud of him and would let a 2-year-old Terence hit his arms. His dad, however, did not stay very often at their home and it would break the child’s heart every time he left. Senior Crawford came forward and extended his support for his son in his last fight against Errol Spence Jr. In an interview, he said Terence is a man who does not get hit if he does not want to. He was impressed with the discipline and humility his son showed. The said fight added a whopping $21 million to Terence’s pocket.
