This episode is a conversation with someone who knows a lot about what it takes to be at the top of a sport and the will to win at all costs...retiring with a perfect 42-0 boxing record, Terrance "Bud" Crawford joins The Pivot for a powerful, reflective conversation about legacy, purpose, and what comes next. Without hesitation, Bud tells Ryan that fight night between two top boxers is bigger and more pressure than the Super Bowl and explains why he sees it as such. Describing his journey in detail and how he defied the odds as a kid from the streets of Omaha to the mountaintop of boxing 🥊 Bud opens up about his decision to step away from the ring, revisiting a career defined by record-breaking fights, historic championships, and defying the odds to become an undisputed world champion. He speaks with honesty how he didn't have all the same opportunities as the big names in the sport yet he prevailed as the best to do it in his era. He is the first male in the modern four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in three different weight divisions and highly regarded as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the history of the sport- with his win over Canelo Álvarez widely seen as a defining achievement and one of boxing’s signature performances. Bud breaks down the mindset that carried him through adversity, the moments that shaped him as a fighter, and the pride he takes in representing his city and his people at the highest level. Beyond the belts and accolades, Bud talks fatherhood, growth, and why family has always been his true north. He also shares why he believes boxing is in good hands, offering respect and insight on the next generation ready to carry the sport forward. Channing asks if there is a number that could get him to return to the ring, and his answer is surprising but also extremely telling of who he is as a man. This conversation is an exploration of greatness, resilience, and a life built with intention showing that anything is possible. Whether you’re a boxing diehard or a fan of real stories about perseverance and purpose, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

My boy slithered his way through the boxing game, dismantling every tough opponent the hard way, took every belt, and bowed out gracefully with all his brains. Goat

Terrance Crawford just showed what a real man is. When ole boy tried to put a price on him. He turned that around and made him look like a soulless fool. Go watch his face afterwards. The greatest respect 🫡 for Bud Crawford with that answer

I'm amazed that the Pivot got this much out of Bud. This interview should win an award.
