By: Sean CroseIn what is likely a surprise to absolutely no one, the World Boxing Association has stripped Terence Crawford of its 154 lb junior middleweight title. Crawford won the strap in 2024 when he decisioned Israil Madrimov in a performance many found less than stellar. It’s not easy to hold the undisputed super middleweight championship of the world while maintaining a world title in a lower division, however. Crawford who now has won world titles in five weight divisions on his resume, has belatedly been crowned the face of boxing. Sure enough, Crawford reportedly let the WBA know that he had no no interest in continuing to hold on to its junior middleweight belt.
