The undefeated WBA Super Welterweight Champion lets Shannon in on his unmatched boxing technique, footwork, and mentality in a hands-on, unforgettable tutorial.</p> <p>Crawford opens up about what has driven his meteoric rise, crediting two things: his unwavering belief in himself and his desire to prove the doubters wrong.

He shares stories about his childhood in North Omaha, where he was raised by his mother and surrounded by family. Crawford notes the influence of figures like Malcolm X, Warren Buffett, and even the challenges of living in a city with both good and bad areas, which made Omaha a special place to raise his own family.</p> <p>He talks about the unique challenges he faced growing up without a strong male figure in his life, with his father&rsquo;s absence due to his Navy career. Despite being disciplined by his mother, Crawford credits his family and upbringing for his grounded mindset. In addition to discussing his upbringing, he shares poignant moments with figures like Warren Buffett, whose humble demeanor left a lasting impact on him.</p> <p>As Crawford traces his journey from a young athlete to boxing champion, he recalls early struggles with his temper, which held him back in his early career. He reveals how the birth of his child and spiritual guidance from his uncle helped him turn his life around. Through the support of mentors like Tim Bradley and other key figures, Crawford was able to transition from fighting as an amateur to a professional, eventually becoming one of the most decorated names in the sport.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>#volume</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
