Terence Crawford watched proudly as his son claimed his first state wrestling championship in Nebraska.
Terence Crawford Jr. captured the Class A title with a dominant 13-1 major decision victory.
The freshman completed a 3-0 run at the tournament before defeating Riley Pederson in the final.
Crawford cheered from the sidelines as his son secured the win.
Crawford retired from boxing in December at age 38.
He said he had nothing left to prove after a decorated career.
While he no longer collects belts, new trophies are arriving at home.
Like many mixed martial artists, Crawford trained in wrestling during his youth.
He has often spoken about the importance of grappling skills in combat sports.
In past interviews, Crawford said a strong wrestler holds a major advantage in a fight.
He argued that without wrestling knowledge, opponents struggle once the fight hits the ground.
Now his son is building his own path on the mat.
The first state championship marks a promising start.
