A consensus top-10 pound for pound fighter, Crawford (26-0, 18 KOs), of Omaha, NE, produced a stellar year in 2014 earning him the “Fighter of the Year” award. One of boxing’s brightest young stars, Crawford captured the WBO lightweight title in March 2014, dethroning Ricky Burns in the defending champion’s native Scotland, with a virtuoso performance. Crawford successfully defended the title twice in that year, knocking out undefeated Cuban superstar and former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa — a Fight of the Year nominee — and a one-sided unanimous decision over one-time world title contender and mandatory challenger Ray Beltran last November.
Crawford vacated that title, ending his 13-month reign, on April 18 to challenge for the vacant WBO junior welterweight title against top-rated contender Thomas Dulorme in Arlington, TX. Crawford captured his second world title in as many divisions when he knocked out the once-beaten Dulorme in the sixth round.
