Boxing fans know Terence Crawford as a knockout king in the ring. But apparently, life outside the ropes comes with its own surprises and sometimes, not-so-fun punches.
The boxing champ Terence Crawford recently opened up about a personal regret that’s making headlines: he wishes he had ended his longtime relationship before having a child with another woman.
Let’s set the scene. Crawford, the strong fighter, has spent years building a career, dodging punches, and stacking belts. But when it comes to love, well, it seems even champions can stumble. Crawford admitted he should’ve called it quits with his longtime partner before starting a family with someone else. That’s a plot twist nobody saw coming, except, you know, everyone who watches reality unfold in real life.
Around the 39-minute mark of the episode, Crawford called stepping out on Pearson a “sticky situation” and said that he wouldn’t “bad mouth” her on social media.
“So, anything that she done to me, anything that we went through, I’m going to take it. I’m going to take it on the chin because that’s what men do. But if we
if we being a thousand percent real, I should have left a long time ago,” he said.“Men stay, women leave. But to cover that up, we wasn’t even together
when I had got my other baby mama pregnant. We was living together and things like that, but we wasn’t together,” he added.“Not saying that it’s cool, not saying it’s okay, but men have babies outside of their relationship every day. This is nothing new. … Women too,” he continued.
At the end of the day, Crawford is owning up to his mistakes. He’s reflecting, learning, and hopefully figuring out how to navigate fatherhood without another headline-making slip-up.
So here’s to Terence Crawford: undefeated in the ring, still learning the rules outside of it. And honestly, isn’t that the most relatable punchline of all?
