Life Itself XX: The Terence Crawford Collection
Life Itself XX:
The Terence Crawford Collection
Welcome to my stories and musings about the most important and high achieving athlete to come out of
Nebraska – world boxing champion Terence Crawford.
He has dominated in the amateur and professional ranks. He has fought for and won titles in America and abroad. He has single-handedly revived a dying sport in his hometown and, in the process, put Omaha on the national and international boxing map. He has remained true to his roots and his base. He has established a community gym in his old neighborhood.
He has broadened his horizons outside boxing by making humanitarian trips to Africa. I accompanied him on one of those trips in 2015. But my coverage of him began a few years before that when I did some reporting about the place where he got his start – the CW Boxing Club.
All my reporting and analysis about Crawford and the community that shaped him and the impact he’s made in return is included here for your perusal.
He has truly been one of the more unforgettable characters I have written about. He possesses, like a lot of people I report on. a passion and a magnificent obsession that will not be denied, only his drive has taken him to the heights of his craft and profession. As a Fighter of the Year honoree who has yet to lose a professional bout, he stands alongside the elite artists and entrepreneurs I have been privileged to profile.
