Terence Crawford reveals moment he told mother of his children he was having baby with another woman
Terence 'Bud' Crawford may have a perfect 41-0 record, but the four-division boxing champion still knows how to take a loss.
'I'm just a man,' the 36-year-old told Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast in a resurfaced clip from April 23.
The retired NFL star and Pro Football Hall of Famer was interviewing Crawford about his long-time love, Alindra, with whom he shares six of his seven children.
And the seventh?
'Last one not by her,' said Crawford, who is currently preparing for his highly anticipated September 13 super middleweight bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
The admission led Sharpe and Crawford to recreate the moment he told his high school sweetheart of his infidelity.
'Walk me through it,' Sharpe demanded. 'How you go home, "Hey baby… I bought you something… What's going on?"'
Sharpe then switched parts, taking on the roll of Crawford's long-time girlfriend: 'Bud, what you got to tell me?'
As Crawford recalled, he didn't lie but rather admitted defeat.
'N*****, got one on the way,' Crawford remembered telling Alindra.
'Just like that, Bud?' Sharpe asked.
The normally quiet Crawford launched into a straightforward explanation.
'You can't lie. How you gonna lie?' he asked. 'You better tell her now because it's gonna be worse when the baby comes.'
As for his children, Crawford said he won't let them box or partake in the Omaha native's favorite spectator sport, football.
'No boxing, no football,' he added.
Asked why he'd deny his children the chance to play combat sports, Crawford had an answer ready: 'That's why I did it, so they don't have to.'
But what if one of his sons grows to be a hulking 6-foot-3 athlete?
'He's not 6-3 because I'm not 6-foot and his mamma's not 6-foot,' the 5-foot-8 Crawford told Sharpe. 'So he ain't gonna be 6-nothing. He's lucky if he's gonna be 5-8.'
While Crawford does enjoy taking his sons fishing, at least one has emerged as a high-level wrestler in Nebraska, a regional hot spot for the sport.
Sharpe's interview with Crawford aired days after he was named as a defendant in a sexual assault lawsuit by a woman claiming to be his former girlfriend. Although Sharpe did offer the woman $10 million to settle the dispute, his lawyer Lanny Davis has conceded, the Broncos legend has maintained his innocence and has vowed to fight the case in court.
Crawford will face Alvarez on September 13 in what is likely the biggest bout in either champion's respective careers. The Las Vegas bout will be aired on Netflix, which previously drew 108 million viewers to see a 58-year-old Mike Tyson lose to former YouTube star Jake Paul.

How Brad Pitt's favourite watch got its own starring role in F1
Brad Pitt may be best known for appearing in some of cinema's biggest blockbusters, but as a figure in the public eye for nearly four decades, he's also no stranger to scrutiny when it comes to his style choices. Alongside the clothes on his back, his hoard of statement watches has been well documented. And with the release of this season's high-octane motor-racing movie F1, Pitt's interest in horology is set to be centre stage again. The film, which is co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, who returns to the track to reclaim his lost glory following a spell in rehabilitation. But long before the movie's premiere this month — for which IWC is the sponsor of the fictional racing team and supplied all the timepieces — watch aficionados were caught up in a speculative frenzy when images of Pitt found their way into media channels. What had them bamboozled was a mystery green-dialled watch that was perfectly colour-coordinated with Pitt's elegant Sunspel sweatshirt and leather holdall. Theories swirled as to whether this was a 'prop' watch or something with more substance. It turned out to be the latter. 'Some time ago I got an email from somebody called 'BP' and I discarded it at first, until my team asked me if I had got an email from Brad Pitt,' says Chris Grainger-Herr, the CEO of IWC, recalling his astonishment when the actor got in touch. Pitt's message concerned the watch he thought his character should wear in the film, and a particular IWC model would be the only one up to muster. He requested an IWC Ingenieur SL 1832, a vintage 1976 model by Gérald Genta — often considered the godfather of modern watch design — who was also responsible for the cult Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. 'He was very specific — he wanted it half as thick as the original and a special dial colour,' Grainger-Herr adds. Pitt also requested that the modifications involve his jeweller, Cloister Watch Co in New York, which is famed for its customisation work. The dial Pitt chose, a moss green that is his character's signature colour in the film, never existed in the original Seventies iteration — and was what had watch fanatics scratching their heads. Ingenieur Automatic 40, IW328908, £11,100, Christian Knoop, IWC's creative director, and his team were so taken with this one-off 'fictional' watch designed by the actor that they decided to launch their own tribute to his timepiece. The result is a contemporary spin on Pitt's remodelled vintage design, which still retains the Seventies swagger of the film version with a slick, integrated bracelet and angular case, but has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern watch, including a high-spec self-powered movement that will keep ticking for 120 hours off the wrist. And that green dial has been given a textural upgrade with a grid-like finish. 'With this re-engineered model, we brought back the aesthetic codes of the original 1976 Ingenieur SL 1832, pairing them with the ergonomics and finishing of a luxury sports watch for today,' Knoop explains. And with only 1,000 being produced, you'll need to move like an F1 champ to get your hands on one before the chequered flag is waved.
