At the Bud Crawford Parade in Omaha, Shakur Stevenson took the stage to reflect on what his mentor, Terence “Bud” Crawford, has meant to him both inside and outside the ring.
Stevenson explained that the word “integrity” came to mind when he thought about Crawford’s influence. He emphasized that integrity is bigger than money and fame—it’s a quality that will carry him further in life and inspire the next generation of fighters.
The young champion praised Crawford’s family, coaches, and community for shaping him into the strong, genuine person he is today. Stevenson expressed gratitude for everything Crawford has done for him personally, closing with a heartfelt shoutout to Omaha, Nebraska.
