Terence Crawford on getting Eminem for his ring walk against Errol Spence.
Last night, Terence Crawford made history as he became the undisputed welterweight champion of the world after beating Errol Spence Jr in the ninth round of their match. He is now 40-0 in his boxing career and became the first male boxer in history undisputed in two different weight classes.
The rapper Eminem proved to be a lucky charm for Crawford, as he accompanied him during his ring walk before the fight, as the classic “Lose Yourself” played in the background. “Las Vegas, make some noise for the next Undisputed Welterweight champion of the world, Terence “Bud” f–king Crawford,” shouted Eminem.

After the match, Crawford was asked how he got Eminem for the match walk. “I don’t know, it was just… throw a rock in a haystack and he replied and you know I told him to pull up, and he was like I’m there, you’re one of my favorite fighters.”

Before the fight, Crawford showed the desire for Eminem appearance in a conversation with Shakur Stevenson. “Who’ve you got walking you out though?,” asks Stevenson. “S–t, I don’t know man,” responds Crawford. “You know what I was thinking would be crazy s–t? I think it would be dope to have Eminem walk me out or something like that.”
“He’s never walked nobody out, huh?” “I ain’t gonna lie, Eminem’s a GOAT. I ain’t never seen him walking nobody out in a boxing ring.” “Yeah, I ain’t neither, that’d be dope.”
“That’d be fire, that’d be different levels, next level. Two GOATs,” Stevenson added.
After the video, the Detroit rapper who is rarely seen on social media, commented on the boxer’s post. “This is too crazy!!! You are one of my favourite boxers right now!,” he wrote. “Pull up Em! Lets do some legendary s–t,” replies Terence.
